“In a Sunday homily, I asked the folks in the pews to raise their hands if they made enough money. Not one hand went up! Then I asked if anyone was willing to tell me how much money was enough. You could hear a church mouse sneeze. Greed is an awful spiritual disease. It was as true in Micah’s day as it is in ours. What is true on an individual level is also true on a larger scale. Companies have a right to a profit. But what is a fair and just profit? We need to wrestle with such questions. If we don’t, greed may kill us!” Read Micah 2:1-5; Mt. 12:14-21
