Greed is also known as avarice or covetousness. It is an immoderate love to possess worldly goods in bulk, as well as situations such as power. It is a sin if it induces to employ all sorts of means, just or unjust in order to acquire them. He has but one thought – his money. The manipulations of any kind destroy trust in God and His Divine Providence. Thus, the Holy Scripture warns us that: “The desire of money is the root of all evils.” A desire of money makes us guilty of avarice or covetousness. He no longer love God, his neighbors and himself but instead the love of money and possessions. As in the case of others, this vice increases the more they indulge it. The vice of avarice is revealed by being cruel toward the poor or to our relatives or in our unwillingness to donate financial support to the Church. We may discern it by our stingy use of what we have or in our being too saving with what we ought to use. A greedy person is indifferent to charitable works for he refuses to give or lend. Though just even lesser degrees of a miser, it blinds us to the value of spiritual things. We have no time nor taste for GOD when we are always seeking material and temporal things. That’s the reason our Lord warns us in a parable that we must be watchful the cares and riches of this world for it will crowd out of our soul the seeds of faith and piety. Our attachments to possessions may result only in venial sins, but the real avarice is classified by St. Paul with the greatest sins. As St. Thomas Aquinas points out that one person cannot have a super-abundance of the world’s goods without another lacking what is necessary. Avarice causes much discontent and friction and it provokes separation between the rich and the poor.
