We've seen several
box office hit movies and most of them are in the likes of Superman, Spiderman
, Fantastic Four, The Avengers, The Dark Knight etc. People are fascinated with
this kind of stories because there is an element of awe, wonder and amazement
of how these super heroes can rescue people in distress and danger. But wait,
isn't it more exciting if we watch ourselves being rescued by a true and
existent hero in our lives. Today’s 1st reading makes it a reality for
us since we have indeed a God who is able to do so. Amen. Hallelujah!
Jeremiah 15: 10, 16-21
...Though they fight against you, they shall not prevail,
for I am with you, to deliver and rescue you, says the LORD. 21 I will free you
from the hand of the wicked, and rescue you from the grasp of the violent...
Who is our true hero and savior? No other than the Lord our
God. He is real and Emmanuel “God with us”. Amen. Hallelujah!
Psalm 59: 2-3 , 4, 10-11 , 17, 18R: God is my refuge on the
day of distress.
1 [2] Rescue me from my enemies, O my God; from my
adversaries defend me. 2 [3] Rescue me from evildoers; from bloodthirsty men
save me.
I believe in the saying, "Where your heart is, there
your treasure is." Each person is unique. We all have our own peculiarities
and that's how we are able to express ourselves as a human being. Each person
has his or her own qualities and characteristics that separate us from the
rest. For some it could be a certain quality like cooking, athletics, writing,
dancing, singing, speaking, painting, sketching, or the present work we do and
all other talents we could think about. Whatever it is that we are good in
doing or we have dedicated and engaged ourselves in, we should always put God
in the center of whatever we have chosen to do. We need to find out what our
core gift is and develop it. There should not be a trace of holding back or
hesitation on our part but rather invest everything in it and give it our all
to bring out the best in us and reflect the glory of God. Once we've realized
and lived this truth in the gospel then we can consider ourselves as the
wealthiest man on earth. There is no other treasure and fine pearl more
precious than God who is with and in us. Amen. Hallelujah!
Matthew 13:44-46
44 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. 45 Again, the
kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls. 46 When he
finds a pearl of great price, he goes and sells all that he has and buys it.”
