How to Love the World—the Right Way | Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Published 9 hours ago
Fr. Cajetan Cuddy, O.P. reflects on Matthew 13 and Christ's parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price.
Jesus does not teach that the Christian life is about despising the good things of this world. Rather, He reveals that every created good finds its proper place when ordered to the greatest good: God Himself.
The saints do not hate the world. They simply love God more than the world.
When we discover Christ, every sacrifice becomes intelligible because nothing compares to the treasure of knowing Him.
The Christian life is not ultimately about what we lose, but about the One we gain.
