Come and join us for our Parish Mass this morning at 10.30 a.m. The reading from Hebrews tells us that the word of God is 'living and active, sharper than any double-edged sword... it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.' In the gospel, the young man leaves Jesus without getting what he wants, because Jesus tells him to sell everything he has and to follow him; the young man cannot bear to give up his earthly possessions for Jesus' sake. The message is a very hard one for the wealthy, but Jesus tells us that everything is possible with God.
