Today's brief Gospel speaks of the treasure found in a field and the famous pearl of great price. (See Mt 12:44-46). Jesus compared these to the Kingdom of God, and indeed this is the meaning that has been passed on since then. However, we can also look upon these treasures as the wealth of goodness we unexpectedly find in people. Only God knows the heart, but sometimes we get enough of a glimpse to see what he knows. We can unlock the treasure by a smile, by listening carefully and taking honest interest in the other person...as if he or she were all that mattered at the moment. They open up to such attention and reveal the treasure within. St. Marcellin, evidently had this gift, and hence children would flock to him, and his young brothers loved and revered him for allowing them to "show off" the gifts with which God had blessed them. Let's make this a day of "treasure hunting"
