Dear Friend in the Lord,
“True Treasures” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus reminds His disciples not to lose focus in their life’s purpose and direction. Thus, we are not to seek earthly “treasures” that do not last. We are to seek “Treasures” that last for eternity. Ponder on, “This Truth of Jesus is in our hearts. However, are we divided by materialistic temptations that draw us away from God’s “Heavenly Treasures?”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Matthew 6:19-23
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Do not store up treasures for yourselves on earth, where moth and woodworm destroy them and thieves can break in and steal. But store up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where neither moth nor woodworm destroys them and thieves cannot break in and steal. For wherever your treasure is, there will your heart be too.
‘The lamp of the body is the eye. It follows that if your eye is clear, your whole body will be filled with light. But if your eye is diseased, your whole body will be darkness. If then, the light inside you is darkened, what darkness that will be!’
