Tuesday of Week 14 in Ordinary Time

With their silver and gold.
They made idols for their own destruction.
Their birthright was sold.
Into temptation.

The prophet Hosea writes at a time of plenty.
And in good times people forget God.
Indeed when it comes to false idols there are plenty.
Do we need then any God.

We find this in our time.
We can do this on our own.
We are not even worried about the passing of time.
We forget all this is a loan.
