The Katisian Pope: the rich man. Jesus “looked at him with love”

Vatican News

“Today we focus on other meetings from Jesus related to the Gospels.” Teaching text From the Holy Father, issued by the Press Office of the Holy See on Wednesday, April 9, while the period of the Pope’s inherent in Kaza Marta continues.

Pope Francis explains that this person from the Bible has no name, but “the missionary Marcus simply shows him as a” man “(10,17). He is a man who has preserved the commandments since his youth, but despite that, he has not found the meaning of his life yet.”

What should I do for eternal life

The ink himself calls for looking at the actions of this man’s question: “What should I do for eternal life?” As for this person, “observance of the law did not give him happiness and security.”

The Pope says: “What attracts attention is that this man does not know the vocabulary of grapes. Everything looks because of him. Everything is obligatory. For him is an inheritance, something that is obtained through the right, through careful commitment to obligations.”

He also confirms that Jesus does not remain in the manifestations: “While this man puts his good method in front of Jesus, Jesus goes further and looks at home.

Live and connect to God

“The proposal Jesus offered to this man – Pope Francis says – is to change his way of living and interacting with God. Because Jesus realizes that in it, as is all, there is a shortage. It is the desire we carry in the heart to be loved. There is a wound belonging to us as human beings, and the wound in which love can pass.”

And with Jesus’ call to this man, “not to be alone. He invites him to follow him.” This has been rejected. Pope Francis notes the following: “Hope is that this person, like each of us, changes sooner or later.”
