Dear Friend in the Lord,

Eternal Salvation”: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaims to the crowds that the most precious possession in our life is “the Kingdom of Heaven” that God offers as a divine Gift.  Ponder on, “Are my possessions: material wealth, family, health, successes, used for God’s Glory and in Jesus’ Ways, Truth and Life; and so, gain Eternal Salvation?”

Fr Philip Heng, S.J.

Matthew 13:44-46

The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.
