Jesus’s parables cut to the heart of the matter and convey the truth of the kingdom, and the two we hear today—the parable of the hidden treasure and the parable of the pearl—are really good examples. Both are about the summum bonum, the highest good, and therefore about what’s most fundamental in the spiritual life. Indeed, this is life itself; this is what it’s all about! crqlDGQ7wAh whpSTp3smNh xe6EFudmCOt GgIAfNhI9bt gcNa9g7RTqn RNtmyW3AQ2Z tMicKsZUy4v
