"Then Jesus said to his disciples, 'Truly I say to you: it will be hard for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. Yes, believe me: it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for the one who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven.'

"On hearing this the disciples were astonished and said, 'Who, then, can be saved?' Jesus looked steadily at them and answered, 'For humans it is impossible, but for God all things are possible.'

"Then Peter spoke up and said, 'You see we have given up everything to follow you: what will be our lot?'

"Jesus answered, 'You who have followed me, listen to my words: on the Day of Renewal, when the Son of Man sits on his throne in glory, you, too, will sit on twelve thrones to rule the twelve tribes of Israel. As for those who have left houses, brothers, sisters, father, mother, children or property for my Name's sake, they will receive a hundredfold and be given eternal life. Many who are now first will be last, and many who are now last will be first.'"

MATTHEW 19:23-30

"Lord Jesus, teach me the true meaning of happiness."
