Then come, follow me

“If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” (MT 19: 21)  

Only Our Lord knows perfectly how to reach “treasure in heaven.” The more we have, the more difficult it is. The more we give and the more we are a gift of self, the closer we are “to be[ing] perfect.” When we follow Him, we will be where He is. 

“Blessed are the poor in spirit; for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.” (Gospel Acclamation)
