TWENTY-EIGHTH SUNDAY OF THE YEAR 13/14th October 2012 First Reading: Wisdom 7:7-11 Compared to wisdom, I held riches as nothing Psalm Response: Fill us with your love that we may rejoice. Second Reading: Hebrews 4:12-13 — ...... something alive and active Gospel: Mark 10 — Go and sell everything you own and follow me THOUGHT FOR TODAY This weekend we hear about the rich young man. He wants to “inherit eternal life” but has no real interest in changing his life. Don't we all feel that way? Isn't there something we can just read? Some money we can donate? We go away sad because Jesus asks a lot of us - to really follow him.Whether or not we have a clear picture of where we are being called by Jesus, we can feel the invitation, the call to our hearts, in the silence. We can take just a few minutes each morning as we awaken to sit by the side of the bed and open our hands and hearts and pray, “Jesus, in this quiet moment, I feel my heart being drawn to you. Help me to see this day where you are calling me. “We can repeat this small act on our way to work, taking our children to school and walking to the store. “I know you are in my heart, Jesus. I know you are calling me this day, but my heart is not always open to listen. Help me to answer your call today. At the end of this day, help me to be joyful in answering your call through those in my life. “So many of the stories this

week are clashes between Jesus and the Pharisees. We can ask ourselves: Where in my life do I worry more about appearances than I do the poor who are in front of me? Who are “the poor” in my life? Who are the outcasts, the unpopular or the rejected people I see each day? How can I minister to those people and be a leaven in this world?At the end of each day this week, we can be grateful for the many opportunities we were given to follow along with Jesus. We can ask the Holy Spirit to help us see the invitation in our lives every day and ask for the clarity to recognize “the poor.” When I see the poor, the outcasts, those whose health or habits make them unappealing, do I love them the way Jesus would? Can I look at the brusque and rude people in my life as people Jesus would have gravitated toward, sensing how much they need love? Taken from Creighton University Guide to Weekly Prayer
