Day nineteen at The Catholic Company.
Today's reading is from the Gospel of Luke.
1. We must be like children: "Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter it."
2. Jesus is asked, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
a) Only God is good.
b) We must obey God's commandments.
c) We must not be attached to the things of this world (specifically, for the rich man, it was riches), and follow Jesus.
d) "What is impossible for mortals is possible for God."
And finally, there is a promise with the sacrifices and giving of self:
Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who will not get back very much more in this age, and in the age to come eternal life.
For some people (or maybe most), that sounds easier than it actually is. But our hope rests in God.
