When Jesus tells the rich man in Sunday's Gospel to sell his possessions, give the money to the poor, and follow him, the man walks away. The question remains for us: Would we stay or walk away? To answer this question from this Sunday's Gospel, Visions features a class art project in which students are asked to inventory everything in their bedrooms. Then they determine how much of their possessions they could give up to benefit others. - Mark 10:17-30

Connecting Scripture and Doctrine

We follow Jesus by loving God, who is the source of all good, and our neighbor as ourselves. To the rich man who asks Jesus what he must do to have eternal life, Jesus answers first by invoking the necessity to recognize God as the "One there is who is good," and then by invoking the commandments that involve love of neighbor. Jesus also challenges the young man to sell his possessions and follow him. (See CCC, 2052-53.)
