Message from our Pastor

Taken from Faith Book:
From today’s Gospel reading:
Mark 10:17-30

Jesus, looking [at the rich man], loved him and said to him,
“You are lacking in one thing.
Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor
and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”

Reflection:
While our world’s wisdom encourages us to grab for the “gold ring;” true wisdom lies in becoming Jesus’ followers and putting aside everything else that hinders us from doing that. Today’s piece of gospel wisdom reminds us that we need to keep our eyes open for where eternal life waits for us – it’s in following Jesus and patterning our lives after his.

So we ask ourselves:
· At this Eucharist, do I again hear Jesus’ new invitation to follow

What obstacle in my life keeps me from being more committed to Christ
