Gospel Reading Today, August 18

Liturgical Day: Monday August 18
Gospel (Mt 19, 16-22): At that time, a young man approached Jesus and said, "Teacher, what good must I do to get eternal life?". He said, "Why do you ask me about what is good? One alone is good. But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. ""What?" She tells him. And Jesus said, "Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself." The young man said to him, "All these I have observed; What do I still lack? '. Jesus said, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me. "At these words, the young man went away sad, for he had many possessions.
