The Diocese requires that couples begin preparing for their marriage in the church at least six months prior to their wedding date. Couples must contact Father Ed to get started Gospel Reflection October 14, th Sunday in Ordinary Time Wis 7:7 11; Ps 90:12 13, 14 15, Heb 4:12 13; Mk 10:17 30 or 10:17 27 The Book of Wisdom is dated to the century before Christ. Its author, speaking as Solomon, tells us that the spirit of Wisdom is more valuable than any other gift. "All gold, in view of her, is a little sand". To have wisdom is to share in the mind-set of God. In the Bible the wise, who walk in the way of God, are often contrasted with the foolish, who reject God's ways. Wisdom is that priceless gift that enables us to know God's will and to do it. In Hebrews we are told that "the word of God is living and effective". God's word is given to us for our benefit. But the word must bear fruit, for one day "we must render an account" to God for our lives. Israel, under Moses, heard God's word and disobeyed. But "we have received the good news just as they did", and we should strive to follow God's word in our lives. It is only with the help of Christ that we are able to "approach the throne of grace to receive mercy". Mark's story of the rich man who comes to Jesus reminds us once again that there is a cost to discipleship. He approaches Jesus looking for a deeper dimension to his relationship with God. He knows the commandments and keeps them. Jesus responds to him with a deep, penetrating look. Mark tells us that Jesus "loved him" (v 21) using the Greek word for love, agapa, which refers to the love God has for us. Mark never again tells us that Jesus "loved" anyone; there is something special in this man that elicits Jesus's love for him. The Lord issues him a challenge: sell everything, give your money to the poor, and become a disciple. But this is too much for the man, and he "went away sad. Jesus's teaching on wealth concludes by reminding us that only by God's grace can we "inherit eternal life". For Reflection: What do I consider truly valuable in life? Do my possessions get in the way of my discipleship? Do I own them, or do they own me.
