(Mt.13:44-52) Most of the time, we are chasing false treasures. Let us use the time to go search for the pearl of great price & help others in their search. It is also found in our human relationships: the pearl of happy family, good friends & people who love & accept you. VERBUM DEI PRAYER BUDDIES

(Matthew 13:18-23) All of us have heard the good news. But upon hearing it, how do we respond? Do we live it? Do we share it? Do we make it as our passion? Or we just easily forget it because we don't understand? As an imperfect human being, we need to ask the guidance of the Holy Spirit so that we will share it and bear good fruits.
