Wisdom 7:7-11, Mark 10:17-30

Summary: In two of the Scripture readings today, we read about two different men who follow completely different paths. In the first story, the man considers riches to be nothing compared to finding Wisdom. In the second reading, we see a rich, young man -- in fact, quite religious -- who has kept all the commandments, but has become so attached to his wealth that he is saddened at the thought of giving it up. In this story, the man thinks he is "just fine" in doing all the right religious duties -- but Jesus calls him to something deeper: A real, relationship with Himself, which involves a complete abandonment of the man's attachments to things, and to his own sense of security.
