Discovering the true treasure

Today's readings remind us that the heart of our search for happiness should be grounded in seeking God's wisdom like Salomon in the first reading (1Kings 3: 5.7-12). Our true treasure consists in loving, and embracing God's Word, trusting in His providence, and valuing God's eternal kingdom. By seeking these profound gifts, we discover a treasure far greater than any earthly possession - a life in communion with the Creator of all things. Let us, therefore, fix our hearts on the true treasure that awaits us in God's love, grace, and kingdom, as we journey through life with faith and hope. Indeed we have been called for this purpose: chosen by God; redeemed by him, justified and glorified by God. Through prayer, we must rediscover this timeless treasure, that is eternal communion with God.
