Limerick

There once was a rich man from Galilee
Who asked Jesus, “What must I do to be free?”
He was told to give all his wealth away
And follow the Lord without delay
For it’s easier for a camel through a needle to flee

Potential actions to take in response

One practical way to respond to the teaching of Mark 10.17-31 is to examine our priorities and consider what truly holds value in our lives. Take some time to reflect on the things that we prioritize, such as possessions, wealth, or status, and evaluate if these things are bringing us true fulfillment and happiness. Consider making adjustments to our priorities and focus on building meaningful relationships, investing in experiences that bring joy and purpose, and finding ways to give back to others in need. This could include volunteering our time or resources to help those less fortunate, or simply being more intentional about showing kindness and compassion towards others. By re-evaluating our priorities and making small changes in our daily actions, we can align ourselves with the values of generosity, humility, and love that are taught in this passage.
