*Sacred Scripture*Parable The Rich Fool–Rembrandt
This striking artwork by Rembrandt, based on a parable of Jesus Christ, depicts the rich fool, who amasses corruptible riches on Earth while forgetting the riches of Heaven.
Lk 12:16-21
Parable of the Rich Fool.
16Then he told them a parable. “There was a rich man whose land produced a bountiful harvest.
17He asked himself, ‘What shall I do, for I do not have space to store my harvest?’
18And he said, ‘This is what I shall do: I shall tear down my barns and build larger ones. There I shall store all my grain and other goods
19j and I shall say to myself, “Now as for you, you have so many good things stored up for many years, rest, eat, drink, be merry!”’k
20But God said to him, ‘You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you; and the things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?’
21Thus will it be for the one who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich in what matters to God.”*

Saying the holy name of Jesus is the simplest way of praying always.
1-A prayer from Raphael the Archangel:
*While you are on this earth, you must praise the Lord God and give him thanks.
2-A prayer from Tobit and Tobias:
*They began to sing hymns of praise, giving thanks for all the mighty deeds God had done while his angel Raphael had been with them.
3-A simple Jesus prayer:
*Lord, Lord, Jesus Christ…Son of God…have mercy on me…Be kind to others…Work Hard…Be joyful.
4-Another prayer:
*When all that God asks of us is to be quiet and keep ourselves at peace-attentive to the secret work He is beginning in our souls-Be Empty and See That I Am God.
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
Jn 14:6
