Father Matthew Wiering Podcast
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
The Fathers of the Church help us out greatly when they tell us how we are to interpret the parables that Jesus begins with the words, "The kingdom of heaven is like..." They tell us that Jesus is talking about himself here. When Jesus says, "The kingdom of heaven is like...", he is really sayings, "I am like..." So this helps us greatly to understand what he tells us that the kingdom of heaven is like a treasure that someone sells all they have to buy: He is the one worth selling everything in order to obtain. But what does he mean when he tells us in today's second parable that he is the merchant in search of a fine pearl? This is what we explore in this Sunday's homily.
