God and Mammon: Put First the Kingdom of God

About this sermon

In this homily for the 14th Sunday after Pentecost, we reflect on the powerful words of Our Lord in Matthew 6:24–33: “No man can serve two masters… You cannot serve God and Mammon.” This Gospel reminds us of the eternal choice every Christian must make: to live according to the Spirit or the flesh. Our Lord calls us to place God above all material needs, trusting in His providence while seeking the higher good—eternal salvation. St. Paul’s exhortation to the Galatians warns us of the works of the flesh—such as fornication, idolatry, and hatred—and contrasts them with the fruits of the Spirit: charity, peace, patience, goodness, faith, modesty, and chastity. In today’s world, it is easy to become overly anxious about material things: health, wealth, clothing, and food. Yet Christ points us to the birds of the air and the lilies of the field, reminding us of God’s loving care. When we seek first the Kingdom of God and His justice, all else will be given to us. This sermon invites us to reflect deeply on the hierarchy of goods: God first, always and everywhere. Eternal salvation above temporal safety. Faith above material concerns. 🙏 May we be strengthened by the Blessed Virgin Mary, whose Nativity we soon celebrate, to always live for God and to put His Kingdom first.
