Enough

 

Matthew 13: 44-46

The Parable of the Hidden Treasure

⁴⁴ “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

The Parable of the Pearl of Great Value

⁴⁵ “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, ⁴⁶ who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

Two short verses carrying  a powerful message:  the Kingdom of heaven is worth more than a treasure or "pearl of great price" How many conversion stories, such as the St. Francis of Assisi or St. Ignatius of Loyala relate dramatic changes in the direction of lives? When people find these treasures they are willing to give up everything to obtain them. What stands in the way in my life to prevent such a dramatic and wholehearted move? Where is my treasure? "Where your heart is, there is your treasure." (cf. Mt 5:21)
