The mountains will bring prosperity to the people,
the hills the fruit of righteousness.
He will defend the afflicted among the people
and save the children of the needy;
he will crush the oppressor. -Psalm 72

This man in the Gospel reading asked a simple question that all of us retain within our hearts. Today’s youth must listen to the words of our precious Lord, living by God’s commandments is not enough… we must put other’s needs before ours. Giving everything to the poor goes much deeper than material items, it means self-sacrifice, volunteering personal time, and helping those in need! We all can get caught up into the “my” world. When we live only for ourselves instead of a deeper love we endanger our salvation. Take a few minutes and pray this simple prayer today; Lord Jesus, “What do we need to do to inherit eternal life?”
