Episode 838:14th Sunday after Pentecost

Matt. VI. 24-33.
At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: No man can serve
two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other,
or he will sustain the one and despise the other. You cannot
serve God and Mammon. Therefore, I say to you, be not solicitous
for your life, what you shall eat, nor for your body, what you shall
put on. Is not the life more than the meat, and the body more than
the raiment? Behold the birds of the air; for they neither sow, nor
do they reap, nor gather into barns, and your heavenly Father feedeth
them. Are not you of much more value than they? And which of you,
by taking thought, can add to his stature one cubit? And for raiment,
why are you solicitous? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow;
they labor not, neither do they spin; but I say to you, that not even
Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these. Now, if God
so clothe the grass of the field, which is to-day, and tomorrow is cast
into the oven, how much more you, O ye of little faith? Be not solicitous, therefore, saying: What shall we eat, or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we be clothed? For after all these things do the heathens seek. For your Father knows that you have need of all these things. Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God and his justice; and all these things shall be added unto you.
