9. Mt. 19: 16-22

1 Mt. 19: 16-22: The rich young man is advised to go beyond the commandments. Jesus tells him to break with the crowd, to leave all he has and to follow. The young man could not do this. Our relationship with Jesus is any other relationship-the more time we spend the more our conversation with him become intimate, rewarding and profound. To such he is ready to do much more unlike the person who meets him once or twice and with him our conversation would be more formal and strained. We are invited to level of spiritual life as that of the former type i.e. to go beyond the commandments.
