Gospel : Luke 12:13-21
13
One of the multitude said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."
14
But he said to him, "Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?"
15
He said to them, "Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man's life doesn't consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses."
16
He spoke a parable to them, saying, "The ground of a certain rich man produced abundantly.
17
He reasoned within himself, saying, 'What will I do, because I don't have room to store my crops?'
18
He said, 'This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
19
I will tell my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry." '
20
"But God said to him, 'You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared?whose will they be?'
21
So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."

Ecclesiastes 1:2; 2:21-23
2
"Vanity of vanities," says the Preacher; "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity."
21
For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, with knowledge, and with skillfulness; yet he shall leave it for his portion to a man who has not labored for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.
22 For what does a man have of all his labor and of the striving of his heart, in which he labors under the sun?
23 For all his days are sorrows, and his travail is grief; yes, even in the night his heart takes no rest. This also is vanity.

Colossians 3:1-5, 9-11
1
If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.
2
Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
3
For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
4
When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.
5
Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
9
Don't lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,
10
and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,
11
where there can't be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, or free person; but Christ is all, and in all.
