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:
A lady
who finds the greatest love of her life is very much willing to give up everything
that stands on her way: be it the love of her parents, siblings and even her
inheritance. She will be willing to give it all up for the sake of her great
love.
There are
two important characters in the gospel. The first one is the person who sold
everything that he owns so that he could buy the field with treasure. The
second one is the merchant who found the pearl. The field with treasure and the
pearl of great price represents the kingdom of heaven.
After
finding it they were never the same again because they found something that
would satisfy them for life. And without them knowing it what they’ve found
would serve as their passage to heaven in the afterlife.
Finding
Jesus is more than finding the greatest love of your life. It’s like finding
the greatest treasure and pearl. It’s an unexplainable feeling that tells you that
you’ve already found the greatest possession that you can ever have in this
world. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
