Holding Onto Jesus

28th Sunday in Ordinary Time

The rich young man comes to Jesus asking what he must do to inherit eternal life.  Having followed all the commandments from his youth, Jesus invites him into the Major Leagues – to follow him in a deeper way…and this good young man walks.  There are lots of ‘good’ people in this world, but the only thing that matters is whether we are willing to choose Jesus.  Are you willing to put something down in life in order to pick up Jesus?  We’ve only got two hands: what are you holding onto?

My Homily from this weekend.
