Reading: A young man on one occasion approached our divine Lord and said, "Good master, what good shall I do that I may have life everlasting?" Jesus answered, "If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments." The young man responded promptly, "All these have I kept from my youth, what is yet wanting to me?" Jesus looked at the boy with love, and said to him, "If thou wilt be perfect, go sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.". (Mt. 19:16-21) (MCM, p. 278)
