Jesus proclaimed good news to the poor, but so few of us are willing to follow in his footsteps. The costs seem too high. Our love of wealth and comfort has dulled our senses to the needs of others. We have not been generous or merciful. Somehow we stopped teaching that we need to lose our lives to gain them, and we decided that wealth and worldly success are not the enemies of the kingdom that Jesus taught that they were.
