It got me to think about myself & my attachment to things when I heard that Pope John Paul II had no personal possessions, no money, nothing tangible to leave behind upon his death. How many of us would have been willing to live with no possessions even though all was provided for us? And do we not now have all provided for us? What are the things that we long for? - work for? - desire? How does God's love abide in anyone who has the world's goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help? Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action. 1 John 3:17-18
