There are two examples of people finding treasure in the Gospel today. First, there is the accidental finding of treasure in a field. As we go along in our everyday life we can bump into God or stumble across the work of the Holy Spirit. Second, there is the intentional search for the "pearl of great price." Here the individual knows what s/he is looking for and sets out to find it. In both cases what is important is the recognition that treasure has in fact been found and the courage to take the plunge in doing whatever is required to acquire it. If you are baptised and attending Mass chances are that you are looking for the Kingdom of God. Nevetheless, have you the courage to appropriate the gift of the sacrament and the rrelationship it brings with Christ Jesus to acquire the treasure. Or, are you still weighing up the cost?
