Manage episode 431622455 series 3293308
Gospel
Matthew 13:44-46
Jesus said to his disciples:
"The Kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field,
which a person finds and hides again,
and out of 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
Jesus speaks of the kingdom of God. The kingdom of heaven. They’re the same. And what's so interesting about it, he makes it clear that this is the image of what we are all called to do and to be, to be living in this kingdom. And sometimes we think we have to earn it or we have to work for it, or we have to make ourselves into something we're not.
No, the key is the kingdom of heaven. The kingdom of God is already here. It is inside of you. And so what you have to do is find it, believe it's there, know it's there, and make it the prize that you put above every other thing in your life. I want to be fully alive.
I want to live in a kingdom of peace, joy and love. I want it more than anything.
Closing Prayer
Father, open our hearts to your wisdom. You alone can reveal to us fully the mystery of what we are about in this world. The kingdom of God is mysterious. But the most important thing is that you come into the world to awaken us to what it is. And when we seek it, we will find it. And we ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
