Money. Judas betrays Jesus for 30 pieces of silver and St Francis of Assisi told his brothers to treat money like dung. We are all somewhere in between. How much do you worry about money? How much does it control you actions? If someone came to you and said we need $100 worth of groceries to feed hungry people, would you say yes? If not why? If you say you don't have the money, is that true?
We need money to live, we can't really walk the streets of our town begging alms, though I know people who have done this in Austin, TX. But how much does it control our lives, take away our freedom? Do you want a new car or do you have to have one so those around you think we'll of you? How about new shoes, new clothes?
I see Francis' point. Sin takes away your freedom, if money does that as well then could it be a sin too? Our at least is my relationship to money a sin?
