> *Friends, our Gospel for today is Luke’s version of the Beatitudes, less
> well known than Matthew’s but actually punchier, more to the point. It all
> hinges on that decisively important spiritual attitude of
> detachment—apatheia in the Greek fathers, indifferencia in Ignatius of
> Loyola. It means that I am unattached to worldly values that become a
> substitute for the ultimate good of God. How bluntly Luke’s Jesus puts
> things. Look at Luke’s first beatitude, a model for all: “Blessed are you
> poor; the reign of God is yours.” What if we translated this as, “How lucky
> you are if you are not addicted to material things.” When we place material
> things in the center of our concerns, we find ourselves caught in an
> addictive pattern. Because material goods don’t satisfy the hunger in my
> soul, I convince myself that I need more of them. So I strive and work to
> get more nice things—cars, homes, TVs, clothes—and then I find that those
> don’t satisfy me. So I strive and strive, and the rhythm continues.
> Therefore, how lucky I would be if I were poor, unattached to material
> goods, finally indifferent to them.*
