Monday – 8th Week of Ordinary Time B
In today’s gospel, a “rich young man” approaches Jesus. We would say he has lived an honest life, as the reading indicates that he kept all basic commandments, but he never mentioned his care and attention for the poor. And so Jesus, seeing the emptiness that still plagued this man’s heart, looks at him with a deep love which wished him the best kind of life, here and in eternity.
