For 20 August 2018, Monday of week 20 in Ordinary Time, based on Matthew 19:16-22
Someone came to Jesus and said, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?†And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.†He said to him, “Which ones?†And Jesus said, “You shall not murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; Honor your father and mother; also, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.†The young man said to him, “I have kept all these; what do I still lack?†Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.†When the young man heard this word, he went away grieving, for he had many possessions.
