Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (A)
Gospel text
Mt 13:44-52
Mt 13:44-52
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."
Gospel's Commentary
Today we hear about the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus devoted time and effort to explaining this “treasure.” It is something so sublime that the Master could only describe it through parables and comparisons.
—Jesus’ Kingdom is far more beautiful than we can imagine. But we do know something essential: it is the treasure of our life, and we can already begin to taste it here. Surely you are not going to trade it for some little worldly “treasure,” are you?
