All or nothing

All or nothing

St. Mark 10.17-27

Jesus put on when a man ran up to him, knelt down and asked him: "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life? "Jesus said to him:" Why call me good? No one is good except God alone. You know the commandments: Do not commit murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do no harm to anyone, Honour thy father and thy mother. The man replied: "Master, I have observed all these commandments since my youth. "Placing his gaze on him, Jesus began to love him. He said: "One thing you lack: go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. But he, in these words, became dark and he went away sad, for he had great possessions. Then Jesus looked around and said to his disciples: "How hard it is to those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God! The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said: "Children, how difficult it is to enter the kingdom of God. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle as a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. "More and more confused, the disciples asked them:" Then who can be saved? Jesus looks at them and says, "For men this is impossible, but not for God, for everything is possible with God. "

Introductory Prayer Lord Jesus, help me to free myself from everything, so I can follow you every day. If I am too attached to anything in this world, I would like to know how to separate myself, to indulge only in your praise.

Application Grant me a pure heart, O Lord, a heart that seeks to give you always the first in my life.

Things to think

1. Do not only good but holy One of the biggest challenges we have in life is to cross the line from the goodness of holiness. There are many good people in this world, but there are few who are holy. The world needs the witness of saints. They are the ones who plan to shed light on this world, dark and gloomy.

2. Abandon all Why are we so deeply attached to the realities material world? They prevent us from making the definitive step that would lead us to holiness. Christ tells us to drop everything today. Detach your heart from worldly goods and attach it to Christ. You will then be filled with joy.

3. Follow Christ The story of the young rich man is one of the saddest stories of the whole Gospel. This young man could have been a great apostle as St. Peter or the other, but because of his calculating mind, he has strayed into the intricacies of the story. Nobody should make that mistake again. We should accept this Christ's invitation to us all and follow him without hesitation. The road is narrow, it is not easy. He asks us to give him, follow him with all my heart, and we will be filled with joy and peace.

Dialogue with the Lord Jesus Christ , I know you look me in the depths of his eyes now and you ask me to follow you. Give me strength, Lord, to seek true holiness in my life and I am not satisfied to be merely good.

Resolution I pray for the conversion of sinners, for my conversion, for a spiritual renewal in my life
