Reading 3, 1 Cor 9: 24-27 : Run after eternal things.
| 24 | Do you not know that in a race all the runners compete, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. |
| 25 | Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. |
| 26 | Well, I do not run aimlessly, I do not box as one beating the air; |
| 27 | but I pommel my body and subdue it, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified. |
Gospel, Mk 10: 17-22 : Sell and give your property to the poor.
| 17 | And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" |
| 18 | And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. |
| 19 | You know the commandments: `Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.'" |
| 20 | And he said to him, "Teacher, all these I have observed from my youth." |
| 21 | And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said to him, "You lack one thing; go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me." |
| 22 | At that saying his countenance fell, and he went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions. |
