Homily from 10-10-21

Do you possess things?  Do YOU possess things, or do your THINGS possess you?  This guy in the Gospel today, no matter his age, has observed all the rules.  That's good!  Following the 10 Commandments and obeying God's law are great actions and virtues!  But Jesus says those aren't enough.  It's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for someone whose THINGS possess them to enter heaven.  The rich young man went away sad.  When we get to heaven, will you be turned away sad too?
