ESUS said unto His disciples: Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in

cause I have no room where to bestow my fruits? And he said: This will I do; I will pull down my barns, and will build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him: Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
