Reflection based on Matt 13:31-35:
The field is our human heart and the treasure is the presence of the blessed trinity. The treasure is hidden, some people don’t even know it exists. When we experience it, we want more, and the way to getting more of this treasure, is to remove the barriers that stop us from coming to know Jesus and all his graces.
The pearl of great price is the life giving relationship with God.
People are looking in the wrong place for the pearl of great worth. It is not in the news or wars.
The pearl of great worth can be found in contempletive prayer and Father Gerry will teach us how to pray contempletively in the coming months and during special events.
