Fr Gatus (of the Archdiocese of San Fernando, Pampanga) on the importance of the FAMILY vs wealth & possessions
> "In the end, it is not how MUCH [material objects] you saved, but how MANY [persons] you saved!"
> this is the 2nd time i heard of The Story of the Two Brothers (1st from Bet), the elder who was single & the younger who was married with children. Both farmers, at every harvest time, the eldest would secretly give one sack of rice in the dead of night to the storage room of his younger brother, thinking "He has a family & needs more than me." Conversely, the younger brother thought: "My Kuya is single & needs to save for old age" [my revision]. One night, they bumped on each other & found out about the truth. In that spot, they build a CHURCH; for, a church is nothing but a meeting of people who love each other!"
> How can you be together as a FAMILY in heaven, if already here on earth, you don't see eye to eye?
