Vocation Views The rich young man desires to live a virtuous life. It requires

letting go of what may get in the way of following Jesus

wholeheartedly. Are you able to say “yes?” (Mark 10:17-30)

From the Joy of Gospel, we are encouraged to encounter Jesus

daily, who lifts up our heads, restores our joy, and by his very

life, inspires us to share with others what he has done for us.

I invite all Christians, everywhere, at this very moment, to a

renewed personal encounter with Jesus Christ, or at least an

openness to letting him encounter them; I ask all of you to do

this unfailingly each day. No one should think that this

invitation is not meant for him or her, since “no one is

excluded from the joy brought by the Lord”. The Lord does not

disappoint those who take this risk; whenever we take a step

towards Jesus, we come to realize that he is already there,

waiting for us with open arms. Now is the time to say to Jesus:

“Lord, I have let myself be deceived; in a thousand ways I have

shunned your love, yet here I am once more, to renew my

covenant with you. I need you. Save me once again, Lord, take

me once more into your redeeming embrace”. How good it

feels to come back to him whenever we are lost! Let me say

this once more: God never tires of forgiving us; we are the ones

who tire of seeking his mercy. Christ, who told us to forgive one

another “seventy times seven” (Mt 18:22) has given us his

example: he has forgiven us seventy times seven. Time and

time again he bears us on his shoulders. No one can strip us of

the dignity bestowed upon us by this boundless and unfailing

love. With a tenderness which never disappoints, but is always

capable of restoring our joy, he makes it possible for us to lift

up our heads and to start anew. Let us not flee from the

resurrection of Jesus, let us never give up, come what will. May

nothing inspire more than his life, which impels us onwards!

(Evangelii Gaudium, 3)
