Sirach 44:1,10-15
(1) Let us now praise famous men, And our fathers that became the father of us. (10) But these were men of mercy, Whose righteous deeds have not been forgotten. (11) With their seed shall remain continually a good inheritance; Their children are within the covenants. (12) Their seed stands fast, And their children for their sakes. (13) Their seed shall remain forever, And their glory shall not be blotted out. (14) Their bodies were buried in peace, And their name lives to all generations. (15) Peoples will declare their wisdom, And the congregation tells out their praise.

Psalms 24:1-6
(1) The earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell therein. (2) For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods. (3) Who may ascend to Yahweh’s hill? Who may stand in his holy place? (4) He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully. (5) He shall receive a blessing from Yahweh, righteousness from the God of his salvation. (6) This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face—even Jacob. Selah.

Mark 10:17-21
(17) As he was going out into the way, one ran to him, knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?” (18) Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except one—God. (19) You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not give false testimony,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘Honor your father and mother.’” (20) He said to him, “Teacher, I have observed all these things from my youth.” (21) Jesus looking at him loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the cross.”
