Mark 10: 28-30

Today's gospel is a continuation of yesterday's passage, and in it we see the disciples worrying about how they will enter heaven. What would it profit them if they detach themselves from the worldly befits to follow Jesus' paths?
Christ reassures them and tells them that he who renounces everything for the sake of the kingdom, will receive a great reward in this life and in the next – there will be suffering among those benefits. We too share this promise if we place Christ and the Gospel above all else in our lives. Let be sober as the Apostle be Peter advises us in his letter today. 1 Peter 1: 10-18.
Lord teach me the wisdom of detachment!
