“The young man said to Jesus “All these I have observed, what do I still lack?’ Jesus said to him ‘If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then co.me, follow me.’…he went away sad, for he had many possessions.” Matthew 19:20-22. St. Augustine said, “You never go away from us, yet we have difficulty in returning to You. Come, Lord, stir us up and call us back. Kindle and seize us. Be our fire and our sweetness. Let us love. Let us run. St. Augustine.

Let us pray, Our Father, we strive each day to obey the commandments, to live uprightly. And we sometimes fail.
We become attached to worldly ways, putting them first before serving Your Kingdom. Father, we humble ourselves today, asking the grace of detachment, of letting go of so many things, and seeking your Kingdom first. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
