You've Been Tricked Into Loving Vanity

Fr. Altier reflects on the human tendency towards materialism and greed, highlighting how much of what we possess is unnecessary. Using examples like the Boundary Waters and a priest from Ethiopia, he questions how much we truly need, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between wants and needs. He also warns against the dangers of technological advancements, such as brain implants, which could infringe on free will and human nature.

Material possessions and wealth are fleeting and will not be taken into the afterlife. Instead, focus should be placed on spiritual life and nurturing relationships with God and others. Simplicity and living a holy, virtuous life are more important than accumulating wealth and material things.
