Gospel Matthew 6:19-23
Jesus said to his disciples: "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and decay destroy, and thieves break in and steal. But store up treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroys, nor thieves break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.
"The lamp of the body is the eye. If your eye is sound, your whole body will be filled with light; but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be in darkness. And if the light in you is darkness, how great will the darkness be.”
Reflection The treasures that Jesus is talking about is all those things that we have. They give us a sense of who we are. Our position, our title, or where we live. What we own, what we drive, our job. And he’s really saying that all those things do not explain or capture the fullness of who you are. Who you are is a person whose eyes are being opened to the love of a God who accepts this exactly as we are, and gives us the dignity and the worth that we long for by simply entering into us and teaching us that every day.
The darkness is when we think we have to be something in order to be important or valuable. The light is we are all we need to be.
Closing Prayer Father, there are so many things that we can become anxious and worried about in life, but it's clear that you're telling us over and over again that you are not without a deep care and interest in everything that happens to us, and there is no scarcity. Everything that's not there is because we don't need it to be there. Everything that is there from God is what we need. Give us this confidence. And we ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
