28th Sunday in Ordinary Time, October 14, 2018 Page 2 Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time October 14, 2018 The Word of God is living and effective, sharper than any two edged sword.

Wisdom, like the word of God, carries a message of consolation as well as of great challenge.

We cannot shrink from the wisdom of God, or from the word that has the power to penetrate our hearts and minds.

Just when the young man thought he had done enough to fulfill God s commands, more was asked of him. This is no less true for us. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Second Reading Indeed the word of God is living and effective (Hebrews 4:12-13).

2 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time, October 14, 2018 Page 2 Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time October 14, 2018 The Word of God is living and effective, sharper than any two edged sword. Hebrews 4:12a WORDS OF WISDOM The spirit of wisdom, as we discover in today s first reading, comes to those who pray for her. Wisdom, like the word of God, carries a message of consolation as well as of great challenge. The Letter to the Hebrews tells us that the word of God, infused with the wisdom of God, is sharper than any two-edged sword. We cannot shrink from the wisdom of God, or from the word that has the power to penetrate our hearts and minds. Jesus, the living word of God, the embodiment of wisdom, has strong, deeply penetrating words for the rich young man who comes to him seeking answers to his most profound questions. Just when the young man thought he had done enough to fulfill God s commands, more was asked of him. This is no less true for us. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. TODAY S READINGS First Reading I pleaded, and the spirit of wisdom came to me. (Wisdom 7:7-11). Psalm Fill us with your love, O Lord, and we will sing for joy! (Psalm 90). Second Reading Indeed the word of God is living and effective (Hebrews 4:12-13). Gospel It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God (Mark 10:17-30 [17-27]).
