Word of Life
“An old Irish proverb says, ‘It is in the shelter of each other that the people live.’ Indeed, we are created to depend upon one another and walk to- gether in suffering. But when family members or friends approach life's end, we may not know how best to ‘shelter’ them. Here are some concrete
ways we can compassionately care for them: usccb.org/end-of-life-care.” Caring for Loved Ones at Life’s End

ETERNAL REST Please join us in prayers for Geraldine Majewicz who passed away recently. May the Risen Lord Jesus, the Resurrection and Life welcome Gerald- ine into the joy of eternal life. Background on the Gospel Reading In today’s Gospel, an unnamed man approaches Jesus and inquires about what he must do to in- herit eternal life. Jesus replies that one must fol- low the commandments of the Law of Moses. The man acknowledges that he has observed all of these since his childhood. Jesus then says that only one thing is lacking: he must give his posses- sions to the poor and follow Jesus. The man leaves in sadness, and Mark tells us that this is because he had many possessions. The belief in resurrection and eternal life was a relatively recent development in Jewish thought at Jesus’ time, and it wasn’t shared by everyone. The Pharisees taught that there would be a resurrec- tion from the dead; the Sadducees did not share this belief. Jesus taught that there would be a fi- nal judgment for everyone and eternal life (the Kingdom of God) for believers. Jesus makes two requirements of the wealthy man
who approaches him. First, he must give up his possessions. Throughout history, some Christians have taken this literally. Their example witnesses to us a radical commitment to the Gospel of Je- sus. Some have read this as a particular require- ment directed to this specific individual. Still oth- ers have sought to explain the meaning intended by the word possessions as those things that pre- vent one from following Jesus. Christians have generally understood that at the least, following Jesus requires that believers hold material posses- sions loosely and remain vigilant against seeking security in accumulating possessions. The second requirement Jesus makes of this man is the invitation that Jesus extends to all would-be disciples: “follow me.” Jesus very much wants this man to be his disciple. We believe that the Chris- tian faith is one in which each believer is in a per- sonal relationship with Jesus. Just as this Gospel tells us that Jesus loves the man and is sad when he departs, so too, Jesus loves us and is saddened when we are unable to follow him. We see in this Gospel reading another example of Mark’s pattern, which shows Jesus offering fur- ther elaboration about his message and meaning to his disciples. To his disciples, Jesus laments the challenges faced by those who are rich in fol- lowing him and entering the Kingdom of God. In reply to the disciples’ astonishment at the strict- ness of the standard that Jesus speaks about to- day, Jesus reminds his disciples that nothing is impossible with God. Salvation is determined by our ability to rely completely upon God. Peter replies to Jesus by boasting that the disci- ples have already given up everything. Jesus acknowledges that those who have given up every- thing for the sake of the Gospel will be rewarded. This reward begins now, in the new community that one will gain in this life, and will continue in the eternal age to come. Our personal relationship with Jesus is also an invitation to the community of faith, the Church.
