Reading 1
Blessed
be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who in his
great mercy gave us a new birth to a living hope
through
the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
to an
inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading,
kept in
heaven for you
who by
the power of God are safeguarded through faith,
to a
salvation that is ready to be revealed in the final time.
In
this you rejoice, although now for a little while
you may
have to suffer through various trials,
so that
the genuineness of your faith,
more
precious than gold that is perishable even though tested by fire,
may prove
to be for praise, glory, and honor
at the
revelation of Jesus Christ.
Although
you have not seen him you love him;
even
though you do not see him now yet you believe in him,
you
rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy,
as you attain the goal of faith, the salvation of your
souls.

Gospel
As
Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up,
knelt
down before him, and asked him,
“Good
teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
Jesus
answered him, “Why do you call me good?
No
one is good but God alone.
You
know the commandments: You shall not kill;
you
shall not commit adultery;
you
shall not steal;
you
shall not bear false witness;
you
shall not defraud;
honor your father and your mother.”
He
replied and said to him,
“Teacher,
all of these I have observed from my youth.”
Jesus,
looking at him, loved him and said to him,
“You
are lacking in one thing.
Go,
sell what you have, and give to the poor
and you
will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
At
that statement, his face fell,
and he
went away sad, for he had many possessions.
Jesus
looked around and said to his disciples,
“How
hard it is for those who have wealth
to enter
the Kingdom of God!”
The
disciples were amazed at his words.
So
Jesus again said to them in reply,
“Children,
how hard it is to enter the Kingdom of God!
It
is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle
than for
one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of God.”
They
were exceedingly astonished and said among themselves,
“Then
who can be saved?”
Jesus
looked at them and said,
“For
men it is impossible, but not for God.
All things are possible for
God.”
