Seventeenth Week in Ordinary Time
Matthew 13:44–46
Friends, today Jesus offers two parables about the kingdom of heaven.
Let’s focus on the first one:
“The Kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field,
which a person finds and hides again.”
Sometimes God’s love is found that way.
There’s a saying: “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.”
Sometimes in the course of our everyday lives,
something happens that vividly and surprisingly summons us to union with God.
We realize, in a flash, what it’s all about.
We weren’t particularly looking for it, but it found us.
That’s what Jesus is getting at today.
As you walk through the fields of life,
be open to the inrushing of grace when you least expect it.
And when it comes,
give up anything that holds it back.
We Stand between Two Eternities.
"Choose Wisely, My Friend..."
Yuppers...
Islam is Hiring.
