The preacher had placed a mirror at the end of the church. He asked everyone to look in it and at the edge of the mirror was written, ‘this is your greatest treasure’. The rich man in the gospel thought treasure was in wealth, and this made him sad.
The wisdom of Jesus is that wealth is not the final happiness.
Our biggest treasure is inside ourselves – each of us made in the image of God, by love and for love.
I picture people I know and give thanks to God for each of them
Let your face shine on us O Lord,
that we may see your reflection in each other.
