This is VLX number 122 Eye of a Needle. We are in Matthew chapter 19, verses 23 through 30.

VLX stands for Video Lexu Devena. This is the Patristic Bible Study and Ignatian prayer series online.

In Omni Pachi, Sifidi, it's bitty to Santiamen. God, our Lord, we ask the grace, that all of our intentions, actions, and operations

be directed purely to the service and praise of your divine majesty.

And Omni Patti, Sifidi, it's bitty to Santi, amen.

And Jesus said to His disciples, truly I say to you,

Only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven.

Again, I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich

person to enter the kingdom of God. When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished,

saying, who then can be saved? But Jesus looked at them and said, with man this is impossible,

but with God, all things are possible. Then Peter said in reply, see, we have left everything and

followed you. What then will we have? Jesus said to them, truly I say to you, in the new world, when the son of man will sit on his

glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on 12 thrones, judging the 12 tribes of

Israel. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children

or lands for my name's sake, we'll receive

a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life. But many who are first will be last and the last

first. Thus are the words of the Holy Gospel. You might notice a slightly different background here

if you're doing the video version. I'm at a family's house and right behind my head is Pike's Peak.

Let's do a quick review of Matthew 19.

If you remember, the first part of this was Jesus teaching about marriage, how Jesus did not accept divorce under any circumstances.

Then we have these children who come up to Jesus.

He's on the way.
