Reading 1 1 Pt 1:3-9
Responsorial Psalm 111:1-2, 5-6, 9 and 10c
Gospel Mark 10:17-27

Excerpts:
Mark 10:21-23
21
Jesus, looking at him, 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.”
22
At that statement his face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions.
23
Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!”
Reflection: So many of us are seeking wealth in this world. Remember this passage as you struggle to achieve wealth and luxury. You cannot serve two masters (money, worldly success, fame, etc. or Jesus Christ).
