Today’s Gospel

The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure, hidden in a field. The one who finds it, buries it again; and so happy is he, that he goes and sells everything he has, in order to buy that field.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a trader, who is looking for fine pearls. Once he has found a pearl of exceptional quality, he goes away, sells everything he has and buys it.

Today’s Reflection:

What is most important to you is what motivates you to attain and safeguard it. Since it means a lot to you, you value it like a treasure which seems to be more precious than anything or anybody. Thus, it gives joy and fulfillment or even becomes the source of joy for “where your treasure is, there your heart will be also”.  However, always be reminded that whatever your treasure is in this world, the Kingdom of God is more precious than any earthly treasure that you have. We only discover the heavenly treasure and pearl when we learn to give up our earthly treasures. The Kingdom of God is a treasure that would guarantee a joy that is eternal. Thus, seek first the Kingdom of God and everything will fall into its place. /Vulnerasti, 2022
