17th Sunday in Ordinary Time, 2020

The Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in a field.
Which someone has found.
What path will truth yield.
What truth indeed is sound.

Is it a good life to enjoy?
Or is it care for others, a life without sin?
No, it is finding joy.
This is the pearl, finding the soul within.

Then we could indeed sell everything.
And possess that part of our heart where the pearl is hidden.
We will indeed become the owner of the ring.
A perfect roundel of life with doubting care forbidden.

Like the householder who clears out all his junk.
And we will in our mind at least become an apprentice monk.
