Sell them, and give them to the poor!

The young wealthy and pious man wishes to become a disciple of Jesus. In spite of great desire, he became sad at the end because his wish is confronted with Jesus 's request of detachment from material wealth, which includes our generosity towards the poor. True discipleship consists of putting the kingdom of God above all. One must be ready to give up everything or to use whatever they own for its sake. It is not enough to know God's will but to go forth with God's will even when this might be hard. A true disciple is not just about keeping the laws but to be a good Samaritan who takes care of his neighbor. It is a matter of a change of mind and attitude; yes, discipleship with Jesus is a change of heart!

Happy New week
