Today's Commentary
St. Basil: "... With these words, he went away sad"

Readings of the Day

10.17 to 27 Mc.
Jesus put on when a man ran up to him, knelt
and asked him: "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life
? "
Jesus said to him:" Why call me good?
person is good but God alone.
You know the commandments: Do not commit murder, do not commit
no adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do
do harm to anyone, Honour thy father and thy mother. "
The man replied:" Master, I have observed all these commandments since my youth
. "Posing
his gaze on him, he began to love it. He said:
"One thing you lack: go, sell whatsoever thou hast,
gives to the poor and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me
. "But
him at these words, became dark and he went away sad, for he had great possessions
. Then Jesus
looks around him and said to his disciples:
"How hard it is to those who have riches to enter
in the kingdom of God! "The disciples were amazed
of these words. But Jesus said
"Children, how difficult it is to enter the kingdom of God
.
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich
to enter the kingdom of God. "
Increasingly bewildered, the disciples asked one another:
" Then who can be saved? "Jesus
look at them and replied: "For men this is impossible
, but not for God, for everything is possible with God. "

Today's Commentary

St. Basil (c. 330-379), monk and bishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia, Doctor of the Church
Homily 7 on wealth, PG 31, 278 (trans. al. Icthus, v. 6, p. 82 rev.)

"At these words ... he went away sorrowful" Where

the rich young man and his ilk makes me think
to that of a traveler who, wishing to visit a city just to walk
walls, there is an inn down there and, discouraged by the latest
not it remains to be done, then loses the benefit of
fatigues of his journey and fights to visit the beauties of the city. These are those who keep the commandments
but rebelled at the thought of losing their property
. I know many who fast, pray, do penance, and
practiced well all kinds of works of piety, but do not pay a penny
poor. What are their other virtues?

They will not enter the kingdom of heaven, because "it is easier for a camel to go
through a hole of a needle than a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven
. Clear speech, and its author does not lie, but few are
those who allow themselves to feel. "How will we live when we are stripped of all
? they exclaim. What kind of life will carry us when
all be sold and there will be more properties? "Do not ask me what purpose
deep behind the commandments of God. Whoever
established our laws also knows the art of the impossible to reconcile with the law.
