In today's homily, Msgr. McCormac tells the story of a soldier who carried a small sack of personal items which meant a lot to him. Unfortunately, they were destroyed in battle, and he realized that everything that he valued and treasured was now gone. In that moment, he realized that he would never allow himself be possessed by his possessions. After the war, he met Padre Pio, and came to realize that the only real treasure in life is Jesus himself and to be his follower. After the war, this soldier returned to the states, entered the seminary, and served our Lord as a priest for the rest of his life. Today's gospel is about treasures, one hidden in a field, and a pearl of great price. Listen to hear the rest of Monsignor McCormac's reflection on today's gospel.
