“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field…” (Matthew 13:44-46)
Biblical reflections by Mauro Leonardi*, priest and writer
God asks us to speak to him in loving words. To tell him: you are my treasure and putting him at the center of our existence.
From the Gospel according to Matthew 13:44-46
At that time, Jesus said to the crowd: «The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field; a man finds it and hides it again, then goes, full of joy, and sells all his possessions and buys that field. The kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking precious pearls; having found a pearl of great value, he goes, sells all his possessions and buys it.
