Let’s examine some of the themes that we discover in the Mass readings for the 28th Week of the Year.
1st Reading – Wisdom 7:7-11
- Wisdom is preferred to wealth and power.
- Even health and beauty are nothing compared to the blessings of wisdom.
Psalm – 90:12-17
- “Fill us with your love, O Lord, and we will sing for joy.”
- We seek God’s kindness and prosperity in our moments of affliction.
2nd Reading – Hebrews 4:12-13
- The word of God is living and effective, penetrating even soul and spirit, and discerning the thoughts of the heart.
- Nothing is concealed from God, before whom we must all render an account.
Gospel – Mark 10:17-30
- A man who has observed all the commandments is sad because he was unwilling to part with his possessions.
- Jesus then speaks about how hard it is for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.
