There is only One who is good. If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.\u201d He asked him, \u201cWhich ones?\u201d And Jesus replied,\u00a0\u201c<em>You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; honor your father and your mother; and you shall love your neighbor as yourself.<\/em>\u201dThe young man said to him, \u201cAll of these I have observed. What do I still lack?\u201d Jesus said to him, \u201cIf you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.\u201d When the young man heard this statement, he went away sad, for he had many possessions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Opening Prayer: <\/strong>Lord, here I am. Show me your face; show me your love for me. I know that without you I am nothing, and yet you want to give me everything. I want to love you; teach me how. Whether you want to console me or challenge me, I am here to listen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>What Must I <em>Be<\/em>?:<\/strong> This young man came to Christ with the best of intentions: \u201cHow do I get to heaven?\u201d What\u2019s more, he really seemed willing to follow whatever instructions Christ would give him\u2014after all, he had obeyed all the commandments for as long as he could remember. But he based his question on a falsehood (the same falsehood we all can fall into). He asked the Lord, \u201cWhat good must I<em> do<\/em>?\u201d He still thought, though perhaps without realizing it, that heaven is essentially a reward that he could <em>earn<\/em>. He forgot, or maybe just didn\u2019t know, that if it were up to us to earn heaven, we would never arrive.\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>You Can\u2019t Earn Love:<\/strong> Treating heaven as something to be earned by good deeds goes against the very nature of God as a Father. Imagine: What true father would make his son meet certain standards before he loved him? What real father would lock his son out of the house until he \u201cchecked off certain boxes\u201d? Heaven is God\u2019s house; a place where we will be with him forever. This rich young man was starting from the presupposition that God wouldn\u2019t love him unless he proved that he was worth being loved. In reality, we must <em>start <\/em>with the sure and certain knowledge of God\u2019s love, and then let <em>him <\/em>make us worthy.\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>If You Wish to Be Perfect:<\/strong> Christ saw that this young man wanted more, even if he was a little misled, so he tried to help him. Jesus was patient: He started by showing the man that he had already gone as far as he could possibly go following rules\u2014there were no more rules to follow! When Christ referred him to the same commandments he already knew, the young man persisted: \u201cAll of these I have observed. What do I still lack?\u201d Then Christ showed him the true way of perfection: \u201cIf you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.\u201d That is, \u201cTake all that you hold dear, your whole life of rules, programs, and self-satisfaction\u2014and give it away! Follow <em>me<\/em>, for I am all you need.\u201d When we feel the same restlessness that this young man does, the whisper in our heart that maybe there is something more to being a Christian, we must remember that we will never placate this feeling by simply doing a few more good deeds. Rather, we must let that restlessness lead us to the love of Christ and let him do with us what he wills.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> God, thank you for taking the time to be with me, speak with me, and give me your grace. Thank you for calling me to a true relationship with you; lead me today wherever you want.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Resolution:<\/strong> Lord, today by your grace I will do a short examen of conscience, reflecting upon for whom I do good deeds: for myself, or for you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>For Further Reflection: <\/strong>Looking interiorly for where God is asking us to grow is not easy. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/ask-a-priest-how-can-i-go-deeper-in-my-conscience-exams\/\">Here is a helpful article on how to go deeper in your examen of conscience.<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Riley Connors was born in Dayton, Ohio.
