Who is with whom?
Wednesday, 17th week in Ordinary Time
Jer 15: 10, 16-21; Mt 13: 44-46
We see Jeremiah saying I am always for you Lord. The Lord says to Jeremiah, I am with you. The Lord also says that Jeremiah should not go with the people but people must go with Jeremiah. A lot of discussion on who is to be with whom! The Lord himself gives the final answer in the gospel today.
The highest of the treasures that we can think of in our daily life of strife is the presence of God with us; God being with us. The problem with us is we don't realise it. Once we realise that presence and experience its sweetness, we will give anything for it, even all our possessions!
