July 31, 2024 — Wednesday, Seventeenth Week in Ordinary Time — I call you my friends, says the Lord, for I have made known to you all that the Father has told me — Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew (Mt 13:44-46)
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.”
