I so often lose sight of you amid the hectic rhythm of my daily life. Help me let go of lesser things so I can hold on to that “pearl” that You have given me. Guide me always, never to lose that treasure I have been given. Today’s Gospel helps me to realize that I have been given a share in finding the greatest treasure of my life in faith. I thank You for my parents and the others sent into my life, and all who played a part in helping me find my way to faith in Christ. I have received the Sacrament of Baptism and with it the Gift of the Holy Spirit, through faith in Jesus Christ, Your Son. Thank you for making me part of Your Kingdom, knowing I have found the “pearl of great price”. I count each day In Your divine grace to assist me to stay close to You. Even so, in my life, to have the discernment to judge what is for my good and what needs to be left behind, so I remain faithfully steadfast in Your Kingdom. Like the disciples in the Gospel who hear Jesus’ parable of the net thrown into the sea and collecting many things, to discern what needs to be thrown away and what is of value. Oh, generous Father, give me this day the gift of discernment.
