Monday of Week 32 Year 1

What are you looking for in life? Often we hear people spending a lot of time and effort in building their career, their wealth, their families, etc. But how many of us truly strive to build our relationship with God? Today's reading reminds us that we should "love virtue, let honesty prompt your thinking about the Lord, seek him in simplicity of heart; since he is to be found by those who do not put him to the test, he shows himself to those who do not distrust him." Have we allowed ourselves to go astray in pursuing only that which is temporary? Or are we being more balanced by also progressing spiritually as we pursue that which is eternal?
