Ezekiel 28:1-10; Canticle Deuteronomy 32:26-36; Matthew 19:23-30

For God everything is possible

We are reminded of the danger of riches: they can consume the fine efforts of people, they can deprive other people of appropriate assistance. “Where your treasure is there will your heart be also” (Matthew 6:21). It is not the bank balance that counts, but a good conscience and virtuous life. Being Christ-like in thought, word and deed -- this will, please God, result in inheriting eternal life. So we endeavour to be genuine and sincere followers of Christ.
