Lord Jesus, You who see the heart and not the outward wealth, teach us to be rich not in possessions, but in Your sight. Like the man in the Gospel who built larger barns to store his goods, we too are tempted to find our security in what we own. But You remind us that life does not consist in an abundance of things. Strip away from us the illusion that more will satisfy us. Help us instead to seek what truly matters: a heart at peace, a spirit open to Your grace, and a life grounded in love. May we not be fools in Your eyes, storing up treasures for ourselves while forgetting what is eternal. Teach us to value today, to live generously, and to place our trust not in wealth, but in You alone. Amen.
