The good, the bad, and the treasure Jesus takes the ordinary for his story asking what you would really want never to lose/ asking what your treasure is. Is it money, reputation, locality? I gave up a better job but had time for the family and for love’; words of a young father. We know that parents give up a lot for their children; as do grandparents/ godparents and others. As people we look for what’s most important in life: the love of God; deep and enduring friendships/ success after hard work in school/ commitment to the poor – what cannot be lost and what is worth sacrificing other good things for. Life is a mixture of the good and the bad. There is an old Dublin saying: ‘There’s good in the worst of us and bad in the best of us’. We work for God with the strengths and weaknesses of all we work with. God sows the seed of the gospel in good and bad soil; it bears fruit in its own way wherever it is sown. The treasure is in our people. So much hidden generosity comes out at bad times – floods, power cuts, illness and death. We need always to find the hidden treasures in our own people and even in our history. The kingdom of God is close, near and is within us. Think of what you really value in life. Take time. Give thanks to God for what brings deep joy in life.Thy Kingdom Come, Lord Jesus. (Fr Donal Neary, S.J, Gospel Reflections) This week let us think about the people who gave up many things in their life to make our life better. It can be your husband or wife, parents or children, grandparents or godparents. It can be your siblings, friends or neighbors. It can be a priest, a deacon, a co-worker. It can be any one that we meet every day in our life. Let us thank God for giving that person into our lives. And let us pray for the grace to make the lives of others better by giving up something in our own lives. May God continue to bless our parish family and keep us all in His loving care. With love and prayers, Fr. Abraham, MCBS We pray for all those who are sick, injured or in nursing homes, and those who are being cared for by their loved ones at home or those who receive ongoing treatment for terminal and life-threatening diseases. May God bring them healing and sustain them in hope. Let us pray for… Sally Clements - Jackie Jozwiac - Ken Nimmer. If you would like to add someone to the prayer list please call the Parish office at 906-863-5239.
