Gospel - Mark 10: 17-30
This weeks gospel recounts the encounter between Jesus and the Rich Young Man. It sets out their encounter and how this good man sought council and guidance from Jesus. While this young man can say he has done well with the commandment 4- 12; Jesus challenges him about his personal relationship with God which is being blocked by his desire for riches. Jesus challenges him to action and even today Jesus is challenging us today. Riches in themselves are not being attacked in this weeks gospel but rather our human attachment to wealth which can become a block or a hindrance to our relationship to God. What in our lives are we attached to which is hindering our relationship, our giving of ourselves to God?
