Matthew 13:44–46

Jesus said to the disciples, “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls; on finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.”

Reflection

• What are the alternative gods that attract my energy and desire?

• Would I give up all my inordinate attachments for the overwhelming precious treasure that will give meaning to my life?
