Reading 1 (Wis 7:7-11)
Reading 2 (Hev 4:12-13)
I prayed, and prudence was given me; I pleaded, and the spirit
of wisdom came to me. I preferred her to scepter and throne,
and deemed riches nothing in comparison with her, nor did I
liken any priceless gem to her; because all gold, in view of her,
is a little sand, and before her, silver is to be accounted mire.
Beyond health and comeliness I loved her, and I chose to have
her rather than the light, because the splendor of her never
yields to sleep. Yet all good things together came to me in her
company, and countless riches at her hands.
Brothers and sisters: Indeed the word of God is
living and effective, sharper than any two-edged
sword, penetrating even between soul and spirit,
joints and marrow, and able to discern
reflections and thoughts of the heart. No
creature is concealed from him, but everything is
naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom
we must render an account.
Gospel (Mk 10:17-30)
As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before him, and asked him, "Good teacher, what
must I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus answered him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.
You know the commandments: You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not
bear false witness; you shall not defraud; honor your father and your mother." He replied and said to him,
"Teacher, all of these I have observed from my youth." 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." At that statement his face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions. Jesus looked
around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!" The
disciples were amazed at his words. So Jesus again said to them in reply, "Children, how hard it is to enter the
kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the
kingdom of God." They were exceedingly astonished and said among themselves, "Then who can be saved?" Jesus
looked at them and said, "For human beings it is impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God." Peter
began to say to him, "We have given up everything and followed you." Jesus said, "Amen, I say to you, there is no
one who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for my sake and for the
sake of the gospel who will not receive a hundred times more now in this present age: houses and brothers and
sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and eternal life in the age to come."
