Weaving Hair Like Teyana Taylor
"The kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls found one pearl of great price, went and sold all his possessions and buys it" (Mt 13, 45-46)

found one pearl of great value, sold everything and bought it (Matthew 13.46). Jesus wants us to understand the value of the Kingdom of God which is the value of Jesus himself. In front of the Kingdom, we are called upon to decide for what it's worth.
First is shown that the Kingdom is a truly valuable and rare beauty. Jesus tells us that is not enough to seek and find, you must decide. And the reason for the decision is "joy", his passion for the treasure. The love of Jesus makes on the rest, and free to walk toward happiness. The God in whom we believe gives us joy.
Jesus is the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price: Everybody, sooner or later, find it, that is not looking like the farmer who is looking like the merchant. But when it is found, it is important to sell, is separate from the rest because he is the center, the "whole" of life. The joy of meeting him is the power to decide to join him.
Love leads to decide: what does not count off for the sake of what matters. We all know that pearls are of great value in depth. We live, guided by these words, the depth of our life. Do not "over-life" but "live-in," as John Paul II to young people.

experience Life:
"GRANDMA ... I have two!"
During a week of community and missionary animation, in a small town in Lazio, one of our missionary priest was greeted with joy in a listening center. And there to share his experience and the reality of so many poor brothers and sisters, and all listened with great interest.
Among those is a three year old girl, she seems to listen in silence and attention to every word. At one point, Father Roberto sees that the child is close to his grandmother and whispers something in his ear. The grandmother smiles and moves.
After the meeting, grandmother and granddaughter, come close to the missionary and his grandmother tells him what has happened few moments before: "You know dad, my niece heard what you said about the poor, their suffering and how they need even more simple and normal things. So she wants to do something for them. When approached, he said. "Grandma, let my Father Roberto coat for poor children. I've got two!". "
In the simple heart of the small, love "runs" fast to the essentials, the accounts are made quickly and share what you have with others will soon become reality.
