    “Jesús estaba a punto de partir, cuando un hombre corrió a su encuentro, se arrodilló delante de él y le preguntó: Maestro bueno, ¿qué tengo que hacer para conseguir la vida eterna? Jesús le dijo: ‘¿Por qué me llamas bueno? Nadie es bueno, sino sólo Dios. Ya conoces los mandamientos: No mates, no cometas adulterio, no robes, no digas cosas falsas de tu hermano, no seas injusto, honra a tu padre y a tu madre.’ El hombre le contestó: ‘Maestro, todo eso lo he practicado desde muy joven.’ Jesús fijó su mirada en él, le tomó cariño y le dijo: ‘Sólo te falta una cosa: vete, vende todo lo que tienes y reparte el dinero entre los pobres, y tendrás un tesoro en el Cielo. Después, ven y sígueme’” (Marcos 10, 17-21).

    August 22, 2018
    by Pedro A. Moreno, O.P. Secretariat for Evangelization and Catechesis
    “As he was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before him, and asked him, ‘Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?’ Jesus answered him, ‘Why do you call me good?

Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me’” (Mark 10, 17-21).
