The Lord tells us in today's gospel to examine ourselves instead of running to him to resolve our quarrels with others regaring inheritance disputes. He points out to check ourselves regarding greed and about what we think is truly valuable in our existence because it should not be about possessions. In this way, he invites us all to renew ourselves by repenting and resolving to amend ourselves constantly. Transformation of ourselves is the core of our calling. All our problems are about opportunities to grow to be more Christ-like.
