The movement stops. We settle down. It can sometimes mean that we have simply done the minimum. The magis, however, disrupts this state of complacency. It awakens consciousness, enabling us to imagine something else. It broadens the horizon of movement and growth.

In the Gospel according to St. Matthew —22 , the encounter between Jesus and a young man opens us to a new way of seeing. This person comes to Jesus to ask him what good thing he must do to have eternal life. He wants to know what is required; not necessarily the minimum, but what should be done.
Jesus reminds him of the importance of the commandments, of what is forbidden: murder, adultery, theft, false testimony. In this way, Jesus confirms what every good Jew already knew; he describes a path toward God that is shaped by attention to others in a very incarnate way.
To truly love and care for the widow, the orphan, the stranger, and the poor person is already huge! But the young man wants to go even further. He is already doing all this. He wants more, he wants to go further, he wants to know if there is another path that goes beyond this already exceptional way of being.
