Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
God says to Solomon, “Ask something of me and I will give it to you.” “The Lord was pleased that Solomon” asked for an understanding heart instead of for long life or riches—for health and wealth can easily be lost, whereas “all things work for good for those who love God.” The desire of Solomon is what characterizes the heart of the man who sells all he has to buy the treasure-bearing field. The desire of Solomon is what sets apart the merchant who risks his whole livelihood to buy what he judges to be the “pearl of great price.” They can make these sacrifices with certainty because that treasure, that pearl corresponds to the very call and purpose of God in their lives. And what is that purpose? To be conformed to the image of his Son—in all his glory.
INTENTIONS
Pope Leo XIV has urged Catholics across the globe to join him this July in praying for respect for human life.
He released the monthly “Pray with the Pope” video on Thursday, which is prepared by the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network.
In his prayer, the Pope recognized that the Lord has created each of us in love and called us to live in fullness.
"Each person is a sacred gift that reflects your face," he said, "from the first instant of existence to the final breath of their journey on earth."
"Today," he continued, "we ask for the grace to recognise and protect the unique and unrepeatable value of every human being."
