Finding Your Own Treasure and Field. A Spiritual Lesson For All of Us!

Finding Your Own Treasure and Field. A Spiritual Lesson For All of Us! In the process of Beatification and the process of Canonization there are factors for one to be called Blessed or called a Saint. One of the factors is Joy. If a Blessed or Saint candidate does not have the virtue of Joy, the candidacy is abandoned. Why? Because, within Holiness, we find Joy! Holiness and Joy are connected. That is why when we read the stories of the martyrs, we understand they have faith. But their faith shines through with Joy! Holiness is connected to Joy! When we speak of Joy, we are not talking about laughter. It is possible for people to laugh but have no Joy! Parables of the Kingdom of God In today’s Gospel we hear of two parables about the Kingdom of God. The first parable is the pearl within the field. The merchant goes off and buys the field in order to possess the treasure. The merchant sells all that he has, to possess the treasure. We may have heard this parable often enough and glance by it. However, the Homily explains the connection between the treasure and the field. What is the treasure that gives us Joy, peace, and contentment? It is Our Lord Jesus Christ! This is true. But what is the field? What is its connection? For all that have a special devotion, there is a spiritual lesson for all of us! Listen to this Meditation Media.
