For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope. Then when you call upon me and come and pray to me, I will hear you. When you search for me, you will find me; if you seek me with all your heart, I will let you find me, says the LORD… (Jer. 29:11-13)
A rich young man asked Jesus, ‘Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?’ (Mk 10:17-31)
Jesus said, “You shall love the Lord your God… and your neighbor as yourself.” (Lk 10:25-28)
