Jesus’ teachings about wealth potentially being an obstacle to discipleship follow and build on his encounter with the rich young man. When possessions and achievements are more important than the desire to be in relationship with God it is almost impossible to enter the kingdom, like the camel going through the eye of a needle.

Jesus, I know that I am weighed down by what I have and concern about what I do not have; by what others think of my achievements. Free me from this burden. Holy Queen and mother of all, pray for us.
