Jesus said, “The Kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls. When he finds a pearl of great value, he goes and he sells all that he has and buys it”. (Matthew 13:45-46)
Thought
How much would I pay for the Kingdom of Heaven Pearl?
My life!
Reflection
Lord Jesus, help me to put aside my material interests and see only the Kingdom of God. Increase my awareness of the things that I must do to enter and may my actions today, bring me another step closer.
Prayer: All Needs
We beg you, Lord,
to help and defend us.
Deliver the oppressed.
Pity the insignificant.
Raise the fallen.
Show yourself to the needy.
Heal the sick.
Bring back those of your people who have gone astray.
Feed the hungry.
Lift up the weak.
Take off the prisoner’s chains.
May every nation come to know that you alone are God,
that Jesus is your child,
that we are your people,
the sheep that you pasture. Amen.
