Jesus' answers are sometimes enigmatical and require thoughtful responses. Don't call me "good" for only our Father in Heaven is good. Jesus' answer asks as if he is disavowing his Sonship or if not, what is he saying? Our Pope will be remembered for his "Who am I to judge?"In this answer he opens up the question that has been asked and debated since the Ascension of Jesus. Without the physical presence of Jesus in the world  who can we turn to for guidance?

Jesus words directed to the Apostles make it clear that the responsibility for guiding and guarding his children on earth is with those first intimate followers. They were chosen to do this and had done what had sadden the rich young man; they had left everything to walk in his footsteps.

Are we 2000 years later too rich to enter the Kingdom? The avowers of poverty live in huge buildings that could accommodate hundreds of refugees.The successors of the Apostles are overly concerned with managing the "patrimony" of the Church and keeping their heads down to avoid giving offence to liberals both secular and religious. 

The few Faithful that are left to attend the Liturgy are scanadalised by the weekly sacrilege  of the  Sacrament distributed to public sinners and usually prefer not to think about it.

I have lost my children to the world and so my family and I are truthfully in God's hands I can complain about "Church" but know that I am this "Church". God forgive me.

            For men it is impossible but not for God, for everything is possible to God.

Dear Lord let me again this day strive to be without sin and let not  seeking   wisdom become a substitute for loving and obeying you.
