November 25 – So that worries do not rule the soul

"If our soul is dear to us, and we desire to attain happiness in heaven, let us abandon this unnecessary concern for the goods of this world. Let us give up these needless worries that make our life so bitter and difficult and snatch the life to come out of our hands."
Father Wenanty Katarzyniec
Father Wenanty touches a truth close to every human heart: the more tightly we hold on to earthly things, the more our peace slips away. This is not a call to reject the world, but an invitation not to allow earthly worries to rule the soul - because then life becomes a burden rather than a path toward God.
Christ speaks clearly:
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth…
but store up treasures in heaven.” (Mt 6:19–20)
The Catechism reminds us that the human person is created for happiness in God, and that the goods of this world are only a means, never the goal. Unnecessary anxieties not only exhaust us - they can steal the future from our hands, pulling the heart away from what is eternal. Father Wenanty therefore invites us to interior freedom: not to escape responsibility, but to let go of what is excessive, heavy, and distracting.
And this can begin today - with a small step: less fear, more trust.
Reflection for today:
- Which worries do I carry that do not lead me to God but only steal my peace?
- Does my heart seek earthly goods more than eternal good?
- From what should I free myself so that my life becomes lighter and more rooted in God?
