  1. Wisdom of the Poor 28th. Sunday Ordinary Time October 12, 2003

  2. First Reading Wisdom... What a worth! Wis 7:7-11

  3. I prayed and understanding was given to me;I asked earnestly and the spirit of Wisdom came to me. I preferred her to scepters and thrones and I considered wealth as nothing compared with her.

  4. I preferred her to any jewel of inestimable value, since gold beside her is nothing but a few grains of sand, and silver but mud. I loved her more than wealth and beauty and even preferred her to light, because her radiance never dies.

  5. She brought with her all other good things, untold riches in her hands.

  6. Second Reading The Word! Like a sword Heb 4:12-13

  7. The word of God is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword.

  8. It pierces to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow

  9. Judges the intentions and thoughts of the heart. All creation is transparent to Him

  10. Everything is uncovered and laid bare to the eyes of Him to whom we render ACCOUNT.

  11. Third Reading Give it to the poor! Come... follow me! Mk 10:17-30

  12. Just as Jesus was setting out on his journey again, a man RUN UP, KNELT before him and ASKED. Good Master, what must I do to have eternal life?

  13. Jesus answered: Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments...

  14. Do not kill! Do not commit adultery! Do not steal! Do not bear false witness! Do not cheat! Honor your father and mother!

  15. The man replied : Master, I have obeyed all these commandments since my childhood.

  16. Jesus looked steadily at him and loved him and he said: One thing is lacking. Go, sell what you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven. Then come and FOLLOW ME!

  17. On hearing these words, his face fell and he WENT AWAY sorrowful for he was a man of great WEALTH. How hard it is for the RICH to enter the kingdom of God!

  18. Children, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of God

  19. They were more astonished than ever and wondered : Who, then, can be saved?

  20. Jesus looked steadily at them and said: For humans it is impossible, but not for God; all things are POSSIBLE WITH GOD!
