Blessings, Dr. Lanie LeBlanc OP Southern Dominican Laity
****************************************************** From today’s Gospel reading:
The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field, which a person finds and hides again and out of sheer joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls. When he finds a pearl of great price, he goes and sells all that he has and buys it.
Reflection:
Why are we gathered at church today? We are here because we want wisdom; we don’t want to be tempted by fake pearls and fool’s gold. It is just not worth it. We want the real thing in our lives. We sense what it is----- WHO it is---and we want more.
We have stumbled on a treasure and know that everything else is of much lesser value. We have found a valuable pearl, and we are willing to put aside whatever stands in the way of having that pearl.
So, we ask ourselves:
• What keeps us from having a closer relationship with Jesus in our daily lives? • Do we realize our faith is a treasure we have found, rather than a reward we have been given?
