Serenity prayer for October 10.

Lord, you know that many times I lose my way because of my fears and insecurities. I fail to focus my attention on you. Sometimes I forget that I can count on the heavenly assistance of my soul´s friend: the guardian angel. Therefore, I ask you, angel of my life: cover with your love all those intentions that I keep in my heart. Cover me with your care and make the way easier. Amen

Readings for Sunday.

Daily readings for gospel - First Reading for daily Gospel: Catholic Reading from the Book of Wisdom 7:7-11: "I deemed riches nothing in comparison to wisdom."

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.

Daily Gospel - Mark 10:17-30.

Catholic Daily readings for Sunday, Gospel for October 10 (Sell what you have, and follow me.): At that time, 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.”

Catholic Daily Readings reflection, by Pope Francis.

"The Lord asks you to leave what weighs on your heart, to empty yourself of goods to make room for him." Pope Francis.

The Daily Readings for Sunday, invites us to an encounter with the Lord, after the example of the man who ran to him. We can recognize ourselves in that man, whose name the text does not give, as if to suggest that he could represent each one of us. He asks Jesus how to "inherit eternal life". He seeks life without end, life in fullness: who among us would not want this? Yet, we note that he asks for it as an inheritance, as a good to be obtained, to be earned by his efforts. In fact, to possess this good, he has observed the commandments since his youth and to obtain it, he is willing to follow others; and so he asks: "What must I do to have eternal life?".

Jesus´ answer catches him off guard. The Lord looks at him and loves him. Jesus changes the perspective: from commandments observed to obtain a reward, to a free and total love.

That man spoke in terms of supply and demand, Jesus proposes a love story. He asks him to move from the observance of the laws to the gift of himself, from doing for himself to being with God. And the Lord proposes a life that cuts him to the quick: "Sell what you have and give to the poor... and come, follow me".

To you too, Jesus says: "Come, follow me!". Come: do not stand still because it is not enough not to do evil to be with Jesus. Follow me: do not follow Jesus only when you want to, but seek him every day; do not be satisfied with keeping the commandments, with giving a little alms and saying a few prayers: find in him the God who loves you always; find in Jesus the God who is the meaning of your life, the God who gives you the strength to give yourself.

Again, Jesus says: "Sell what you have and give to the poor". The Lord does not speak of theories about poverty and wealth, but goes straight to life. He asks you to leave what weighs on your heart, to empty yourself of goods to make room for him, the only good one. We cannot truly follow Jesus when we are burdened with things. For if our heart is cluttered with goods, there will be no room for the Lord, who will become just one more thing among others.

This is why wealth is dangerous and, Jesus says, even hinders salvation. Not because God is severe, no! The problem is on our side: having too much, wanting too much, suffocates us, suffocates our heart and makes us incapable of loving. This is why St. Paul writes that "the love of money is the root of all evil" (1 Tim 6:10). We see that where money is the center, there is no place for God or for man.

(...) Our heart is like a magnet: it allows itself to be attracted by love, but it can only cling to one master and must choose: either it loves God or it loves the treasure of the world (cf. Mt 6:24); either it lives for love or it lives for itself (cf. Mk 8:35). Let us ask ourselves where we are in our love story with God: are we content with a few commandments, or do we follow Jesus as lovers, really ready to give up something for him?

(...) Let us always ask for the grace to give up things for love of the Lord: to give up riches, to give up cravings for status and power, to give up structures that are no longer suitable for proclaiming the Gospel, those weights that hold back our mission, the ropes that bind us to the world. Without a leap forward in love, our life and our Church fall sick of "complacency and self-indulgence" (Evangelii Gaudium, 95): we find joy in some fleeting pleasure, we shut ourselves up in useless gossip, we settle into the monotony of a Christian life without drive, where a little narcissism covers up the sadness of remaining unsatisfied.

So, it happened to that man, who, the Gospel tells us, "went away sad" (v. 22). He was tied to the rules of the law and to his many possessions; he had not surrendered his heart. In spite of having met Jesus and having received his loving gaze, the man went away sad. Sadness is the proof of unsatisfied love, the sign of a lukewarm heart. On the other hand, a heart devoid of possessions, which freely loves the Lord, always spreads joy, that joy which is so much needed today. (Daily Readings reflection. St. Peter´s Square, October 14, 2018).

Daily Prayer for the Gospel.

Lord, I don´t want you to be just one more thing among the things I have to attend to. I want you to be first in my life before everything else, even before me. Pour out your grace and strength upon me to fulfill this purpose. Provide me with all your strength so that I may courageously let go of these bonds and move forward towards the project you have outlined for me. I trust in you Lord, I trust in your marvelous power that manages to banish doubts and attachments from my heart to follow you with all my strength. Amen.

The Pope´s daily quotation.

The true originality today, the true revolution, is to rebel against the culture of the provisional, is to go beyond instinct and the instant, is to love for life and with our whole being. Pope Francis.
