The rich man in today’s Gospel does not seem like a bad man; in fact, he seems like a smart businessman. Jesus, however, points out that this man’s flaw was that he was thinking only about himself and his own comfort and security. When we fail to think about the needs of others, we call that a sin of omission. At Mass, we ask forgiveness for what we have done and for what we have failed to do in the prayer called the Confiteor.Contributions for the Regional Bulletin should be received at the Regional Office by the close of business each Wednesday.Subscribe at the bottom of the page to receive an email notification of the publication of the latest Regional Bulletin.
