Today readings invite us to be lead a calm life, with God at the centre, the primary aim of catholism
Your life is from birth to death. your eternal life will move to infinity. Hence whether you live 5 or 100yrs compared to infinite life is negligible. Control of Depart time is not yours but God’s. You eat food for you to live. Food you have eaten will be digested & wasted (threw at toilet).Otherwise you become physically unrest.
Similarly,you have food for your mind to manage earth bound needs such as money,power, health& desires. you can choose to eat many varieties of food. Similarly you may think of different ways of enjoying life. But you should know what the wastes are(such as fornication, impurity,guilty passion,evil desires, vanity &7 vices).
Avarice,possessiveness,greed for either riches or unholy knowledge- are all self destructive.
Pay attention to 10 commandments, Especially NOT worshipping false Gods or humans.
You have to control yourself. Failure to do so will make you restless & give you no time to enjoy life. You are created to lead a calm & happy life. Catholic Church guides us how to achieve that goal.
