Dear Friend in the Lord,
True and Everlasting Treasure: We value many good things in life: our family, our material wealth, health, power, prestige. Many of us are attached to these worldly things at the expense of our relationship with God. For example, “Do we easily set aside spiritual things like prayer, Mass for secular alternatives like shopping, fine dining, etc.?
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!’
