Reflections on Scripture • 06-23-23 - Friday of the Eleventh Week in Ordinary Time
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
I believe if you went up to Jesus after he said these words and said, Jesus, use the word treasure, what really is the treasure that you want us to be working on?
You know what He'd say? It's you. You are my treasure. And I've given you a task to achieve. And it's to be in touch with the truth and to share it with other people, to enlighten them to what is real. Often we see Earth and Heaven used in the Scripture. It's about truth and lies. So the lamp that you have, is interesting to me, that He says the lamp that you have is how you how you see the world, how you see yourself in the world.
And if you see your value, if you see you are a treasure and you have something to give to people, you'll be whole, you'll be full. But if you don't see your value, don't see the value of other people, there'll be darkness. And when that darkness is there and you're not seeing the truth, or your value, or the value of others, it is a world of depression.
It is so dark.
Closing Prayer
I remember when you knew someone was blind. They didn't ask you to heal them, but you went over to them and said, What can I do for you? And the response was, I want to see. That's what we want to pray for. We want to see who we are, the importance that we have in your in your imagination, how you see us as is so beautiful. And to know that we have a task to accomplish that is difficult, and messy, and crazy at times. But we know that we have a gift that if we open our eyes and receive it, if we know our treasure, we will share it with people. It'll resonate out of us. So bless us with that gift of knowing who we are. And we ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
