Extract
When a man asked Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life, Jesus said, “You have the commandments”! (Mark 10:19)
Teacher, he said, “All of these I have observed from my youth”. Jesus replied, “You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and give the money to the poor”. (Mark 10:21)
Thought
Is world equality possible? Can my wealth make a difference to one of God’s children!
Why do I hesitate?
Reflection
Lord Jesus, keep me humble in my needs and generous to my brothers and sisters.
Prayer: Peace (St Francis of Assisi)
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is error, truth;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved, as to love with all my soul.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
