Reflection:

Makes sense of Pedro's question. The apostles know that Jesus is poor, and they themselves left all they had. Jesus then shows them a new side of his community: the sharing of goods among all. Nothing will miss anyone; On the contrary, everything multiplies. It will not be missed nor the persecution: “If they pursued me, they will pursue you too” (John 15:20). The first Christian communities lived this proposal: they departed bread through the houses and celebrated the Eucharist. There was a climate of general satisfaction and accentuated spirit of sharing, so that “no one said that it was his goods he had, but everything among them was common” (Acts 4:32). Everything can continue to work unless the community infiltrates selfishness and vigorous attachment to material goods.
