Christian Values - 28th Sunday of the Year - 11th October 2009
...Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R.
 

The rich young man said to Jesus: 'Good Master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?' Many people today live as if everything can be bought, even God's favour. We might not think of this just in terms of buying with money but with duty, with doing what we have to and then God somehow is in our debt. The way of Jesus is that eternal life can only be accomplished through love - first of all God's love for us, which is freely given, and then our love for God and for one another. This way of love means giving up a lot of selfishness and self-preoccupation just as the rich young man in the Gospel had to give up his riches before he could even begin to see what following Jesus was about. The guarantee though is that it is more than worth all our effort as this way of love brings happiness in this life and eternal happiness with God.

For your marriage: Recall your courting days and the things you did to make each other special. How could you renew some of those this week?
