Word for Wednesday July 30. St. Peter Chrysologus, Bishop and Doctor of the Church.

“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.” Matthew 13:44-46. JeanPierre de Caussade said, “If you truly seek this treasure, this kingdom where God alone reigns, you will find it. Your heart, if it is totally surrendered to God, is itself this treasure, that very kingdom you long for and are seeking.”

Let us pray, Loving Father, grant us the grace of seeing the treasure we have within. We carry eternity within us and love more powerful than anything on earth. May Your love within us be the fertile ground from which we grow in all the fruits of the Holy Spirit. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
