2 Cor 11:18, 21-30 / Matthew 6:19-23
The people of today are very much better informed than the peoples of any other age in history.
There is the vast amount of information on the Internet. There is news on hour on tv and the radio.
Yes, there is a vast amount of information out there and we are very much better informed.
Yet, does better informed also mean that we are clearly informed? Does being better informed make us into better persons?
Today's gospel informs us about the essential difference between the treasures of earth and the treasures above.
And that information can give us a clearer vision only when we decide to seek the treasures of above.
Yes, we would be able to see what is temporal and what is eternal and know what to decide to choose in order to know how to live our lives.
Jesus tells us that the lamp of the body is the eye. We must guard our eyes as to what we see and what we read.
When we look at violent and impure images and read those kind of material, those kind of "information" only darken and corrupt our hearts.
But when we look at what is true and good, what is beautiful and eternal, then our hearts will be enlightened.
Our hearts will know where and what are the eternal treasures and where our treasure is, our hearts will head towards.
