Thought and Songs for Today
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. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net thrown into the sea, which collects fish of every kind. When it is full they haul it ashore and sit down to put what is good into buckets. What is bad they throw away. Thus it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.
“Do you understand all these things?” They answered, “Yes.” And he replied, “Then every scribe who has been instructed in the kingdom of heaven is like the head of a household who brings from his storeroom both the new and the old.” Matthew 13:44-52
The first parable is about a person finding treasure buried in a field. He so desires the treasure that he sells everything he has to obtain the land containing the treasure.
The parable poses a question for each of us:
Have I discovered the priceless treasure of the Kingdom of Heaven?
Am I willing to give up everything to attain it?
Like the man who happens to find the buried treasure, God’s grace can come upon us unexpectedly through prayer, a profound experience at Mass, an act of charity, or even during suffering. You may not be seeking divine treasure, yet in a moment of providence, the veil is lifted, and the glorious treasure of the Kingdom of Heaven is revealed. Once the treasure is discovered, the soul realizes that nothing else compares. From then on, the discoverer is moved to reorient their life to possess the treasure completely.
Many of us are like someone who hears of a treasure in a field. We go to the field to look but we spend little time searching. Though we may have heard about God’s Kingdom, until we discover it, we will not see the value of attaining it at any cost. If we make the initial discovery of the priceless treasure of the Kingdom of Heaven already here on earth and the fullness of His Kingdom in Heaven, then we will be willing to detach ourselves from every hindrance to grace, every sin, obsession, and distraction.
Reflect today on the glorious treasure, waiting to be discovered. Where are you on that journey of discovery? Have you heard of the priceless treasure of knowing, loving, and serving, God? If you have not, keep searching. If you have then consider your attachments and surrender them to God as nothing is too great to offer to God in exchange for the Kingdom of Heaven.

Thought and Songs for Today
He spoke to them another parable. “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of wheat flour until the whole batch was leavened.” Matthew 13:33
In this brief parable the yeast symbolizes the Word of God, and the flour is the human soul. Just as yeast causes flour to expand into a loaf of bread, the Word of God possesses the power to transform the soul. Reflect today on how like yeast in dough, the Word quietly transforms the soul. You are being prepared for the glory to come as you are faithful in prayer, attentive to the Word and accepting to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. You are being made ready for the eternal banquet.

Thought and Songs for Today
On that day, Jesus went out of the house and sat down by the sea. Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd stood along the shore. And he spoke to them at length in parables, saying: “A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky ground, where it had little soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep, and when the sun rose it was scorched, and it withered for lack of roots. Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it. But some seed fell on rich soil, and produced fruit, a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold. Whoever has ears ought to hear.”
The disciples approached him and said, “Why do you speak to them in parables?” He said to them in reply, “Because knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been granted to you, but to them it has not been granted. To anyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich; from anyone who has not, even what he has will be taken away. This is why I speak to them in parables, because they look but do not see and hear but do not listen or understand. Isaiah’s prophecy is fulfilled in them, which says: You shall indeed hear but not understand, you shall indeed look but never see. Gross is the heart of this people, they will hardly hear with their ears, they have closed their eyes, lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their hearts and be converted, and I heal them.”
“But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear. Amen, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.”
“Hear then the parable of the sower. The seed sown on the path is the one who hears the word of the kingdom without understanding it, and the evil one comes and steals away what was sown in his heart. The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and receives it at once with joy. But he has no root and lasts only for a time. When some tribulation or persecution comes because of the word, he immediately falls away. The seed sown among thorns is the one who hears the word, but then worldly anxiety and the lure of riches choke the word and it bears no fruit. But the seed sown on rich soil is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold.” Matthew 13:1-23
Today’s Gospel reveals who is humble and receptive and who is less receptive to the Word of God. Christ is the Sower and the seed is the Word of God. The closed heart is like the rocky soil and will be receptive to the Word of God but fall away when there are hardships. The divided heart is like the thorny soil and will receive the Word of God but will be choked by worldly attachments, ambition, or fear. The open heart is like the rich soil. The open heart awaits to be nourished by the Word of God growing rapidly and bearing much fruit. The seed comes to us in two ways: truth and grace. The truth of the Word of God to enlighten and know the eternal mysteries and the grace of the Word of God to strengthen the will to embrace the Word of God and live it. Reflect today on God continuously sowing seeds in your soul. God is constantly calling to you. Will you be receptive and clear the soil of thorns and rocks until the soil is fertile so the seed will make its way into your heart?
