Gospel for the Memorial of Saint Agnes of Rome

Matthew 13:44-46

Summary: Jesus teaches that the kingdom of heaven is so precious that one should be willing to give up everything else to obtain it.

The Value of the Kingdom

Jesus said to his disciples:

“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.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls. When he finds a pearl of great price, he goes and sells all that he has and buys it.”
