fracture or break by our committing sin.

Aug 17-22: Aug 17 Monday: Mt
19:16-22: 16 And behold, one came up to him, saying, “Teacher,
what good deed must I do, to have eternal life?” 17 And he said to him, “Why do
you ask me about what is good? One there is who is good. If you would enter
life, keep the commandments.” 18 He said to him, “Which?” And Jesus said, “You
shall not kill, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall
not bear false witness, 19 Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love
your neighbor as yourself.” 20 The young man said to him, “All these I have
observed; what do I still lack?” 21 Jesus said to him, “If you would be
perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have
treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 22 When the young man heard this he
went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions. For USCCB

This Sunday’s gospel passage is in two sections,
– an introduction in verse 21.
– the main story in verses 22-28
To get the significance of verse 21 we must look at the preceding passage which tells of the Pharisees’ continued hostility to Jesus. It was because he was rejected by the religious leaders then that Jesus decided to “leave that place” and “withdraw” to a foreign environment, “the region of Tyre and Sidon”, ending up experiencing a radically new dimension to his mission. So often an experience of rejection leads to new possibilities being opened up. Our “region of Tyre and Sidon” turns out to be a place of new beginnings.
