Friday of the Eleventh Week in Ordinary Time

Friday of the 11th Week in Ordinary Time

         Christ teaches His disciples to “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.”

            Fr. O’Mullane preaches on what this image that Our Lord gives us means. It does not mean investing in the afterlife, but rather, investing in Heaven means investing in God Himself. Christ, in the Gospel, then, is continuing His message that God must be absolutely central to our lives. So too with what we choose to look at. “The lamp of the body is the eye.” We must fix our gaze on God, and invest in Him, that our treasure might last.
