Eternal
Questions What
should I do to gain eternal life? Will I reach heaven?
What will happen to the rich? These
are eternal questions people keep asking again and again.
Today’s Gospel gives us some answers to these questions. Follow me Jesus
said to the rich: “Come and follow me.”
We can follow Jesus in many ways.
What Jesus told the one need not be the ideal for the other.
If everybody were to renounce everything, land, factory, office, house,
etc., the whole of life will break down.
We should rather listen to the Word of God and ask ourselves: “Lord,
what should I do to inherit eternal life?’ And the reply will always be:
“Come and follow me.” At the
same time no following of Jesus is possible without renunciation.
It is true that he who amasses his “treasure” on this earth will
have no “treasure” on in heaven, “treasure” that cannot be destroyed
by moths and rust.
A
continual looking forward to the eternal word is not a form of escapism or
wishful thinking, but one of
the things a Christian is meant to do.
It does not mean that we are to leave the present world as it is.
If you read history, you will find that the Christians who did the
most for the present world were just those who thought most of the next.
(C.S. Lewis)
Give thanks frequently to God for all the benefits he has conferred on you, that you may be worthy to receive more. (St. Louis IX of France)
Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival.
Traditionally it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and express
gratitude to God. Happy Thanksgiving Day.

Society
for the Propagation of the Faith The society for the
Propagation of the Faith was founded in France in 1822 by a young
laywoman, Pauline Marie Jaricot. The
story of her life is one of prayer and sacrifice for the missions.
In May 1922 it was transferred to Rome and granted the title “Pontifical”. The Society is the Pope’s official “missionary arm”.
