Thursday, July 20 : Holy Gospel according to Saint Matthew 19,13-21.
Then were little children presented to him, that he should impose hands upon them and pray. And the disciples rebuked them.
But Jesus said to them: Suffer the little children, and forbid them not to come to me: for the kingdom of heaven is for such.
And when he had imposed hands upon them, he departed from thence.
And behold one came and said to him: Good master, what good shall I do that I may have life everlasting?
Who said to him: Why askest thou me concerning good? One is good, God. But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
He said to him: Which? And Jesus said: Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness.
Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
The young man saith to him: All these have I kept from my youth, what is yet wanting to me?
Jesus saith to him: If thou wilt be perfect, go sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
