July 30, 2017: 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time

The greatest treasure we can encounter is having a relationship with God, which brings a foretaste of Eternity now even as we await its fullness.  Indeed, we are part of the great plan of God, for He chose us before time: He foreknew, predestined, called, justified, and glorified us, as St. Paul writes.

In the example of King Solomon, let us not seek after temporal riches of this world, but seek the wisdom of God that we may have a heart that discerns how faith is the treasure of greatest value, and embrace it with all we have and all we are.  Let us abide by the very words of God that bring us Life now and always.
