Wednesday of the Twenty-third Week in Ordinary Time

"Put to death, then, the parts of you that are earthly".  In other words, do not be obsessed with earthly things.  Focus instead on the things of Heaven.  That is why Jesus tells us "Blessed are you who are poor" and then later, "But woe to you who are rich".  If we focus on Heaven, then we will be blessed; then we will experience not the passing happiness of Earth, but the eternal joy of Heaven.
