Let’s take a look at some of the key themes in the readings for this 28th Sunday of the Year.
1st Reading – Wisdom 7:7-11
The prayer is for wisdom, preferred and regarded above all other things. A life with wisdom is a blessed life.
Psalm – 90:12-17
“Fill us with your love, O Lord, and we will sing for joy!” We put God first in our lives and all other parts of life come into focus.
2nd Reading – Hebrews 4:12-13
The Word of God is living and effective, discerning reflections and thoughts of the heart. All is known to God, and one day we will render an account of our lives.
Gospel – Mark 10:17-30
A man – faithful to all the commandments – goes away from Jesus sad because he could not give up his possessions. While this is hard to do, when we trust in God all things are possible.
