17th Sunday in Ordinary Time (A)

Short Reflection for the 17th Sunday of the Ordinary Time (A): Parables of the Kingdom

 

Readings: 1 Kings 3: 5. 7-12; Romans 8: 28 - 30; Matthew 13: 44 – 52

 

Selected Passage: "The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field, which a person finds and hides again, and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.” (Matthew 13: 44)

 

Meditation: The Kingdom of God is treasure is hidden in each one of us. The kingdom (reign) of God is a mystery. We cannot have a complete picture of it.

Thus, the real challenge is to find it within us and in others and let the reign of God flourish and shine before all.

 

The first reading gives us the prayer of Solomon: “Give your servant, therefore, an understanding heart to judge your people and to distinguish right from wrong. For who is able to govern this vast people of yours?" (1 KIi9ng 3: 8) Visit:  www.badaliyya.blogspot.com
