Sunday October 11th: Scarcity is my Sunday-best
First source report
The Diocese of Port of Spain published a reflection for Sunday, October 11, comparing the spiritual benefits of scarcity to the comforts of abundance.
The author uses the Gospel of Matthew 22:1-14 to suggest that experiencing scarcity can lead to personal growth and a reduced dependency on material things. The text compares the state of having little to Jesus after forty days in the desert and Saul after his encounter with Christ, noting that such moments can provide clarity and spiritual energy.
The reflection describes scarcity as a way to live without the anxieties of protecting property or wealth. It concludes by suggesting that scarcity can serve as a protective garment for those who wear it with pride.
