In today's Gospel reading from Matthew 19, a rich young man who observed all God's commandments asked Jesus what he still lacked. Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." We see that to follow Jesus is the way to perfection. If we cannot really sell what we have and give to the poor, we should at least be detached in heart from all our material possessions.
