What Does It Profit a Man to Gain the Whole World?
« And I wondered: what is the point? Why all these quarrels over something that is not worth losing our peace and love for? I have come to believe that we have not understood the meaning of life or the purpose of material possessions. Indeed, God does not ask us to stop striving for a more decent and fulfilling life. Material possessions are not, in themselves, the problem. The problem arises when they become an end in themselves rather than a means to an end. »

Why should God care about you?
We readily ask him to protect our families, bless our work, heal our illnesses, and make our plans succeed. But how much time do we give to prayer, to the Gospel, or to the needs of others? We want God to take an interest in everything that concerns us, while sometimes showing little interest in what concerns him.

Pourquoi Dieu devrait-il se soucier de toi ?
Nous lui demandons de protéger notre famille, de bénir notre travail, de guérir nos maladies et de faire réussir nos projets. Mais quelle place donnons-nous à la prière, à l’Évangile et aux besoins des autres ? Nous voulons que Dieu s’intéresse à tout ce qui nous concerne, alors que nous nous intéressons parfois si peu à ce qui lui tient à cœur.
