Summary: The kingdom of heaven is like a hidden treasure or a valuable pearl. When discovered, one joyfully gives up everything to obtain it.
Gospel Acclamation: I call you my friends, says the Lord, for I have made known to you all that the Father has told me. (John 15:15b)
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.”
