The Lord advises us not to heap up treasures on earth, because they are short-lived, insecure and fragile: moth and rust corrode them, or thieves undermine and steal them. No matter how much we manage to accumulate during a lifetime, it is not worth it. Nothing on earth is worth our heart in an absolute way. The heart is made for God and, in God, for all the noble things of the earth. It is very useful for all of us to ask ourselves frequently: what do I have my heart set on, what is my treasure, what do I usually think about, what is the center of my most intimate concerns... Is it God, present in the Tabernacle, perhaps a short distance from where I live or from the office where I work? Or, on the contrary, is it business, study, work, which occupies the foreground..., or unsatisfied selfishness, the desire to have more? Many men and women, if they answered themselves sincerely, would perhaps find a very hard answer: I think of myself, only of myself, and of things and people insofar as they refer to my own interests. But we want to have our hearts set on God, on the mission that we have received from Him, and on people and things for God. Jesus, with infinite wisdom, tells us: Lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust will eat away, and where thieves will not break in or steal. For where your treasure is, there is your heart.
Our heart is set on the Lord, for He is the treasure, absolutely and truly. And it is not health, nor prestige, nor well-being.... Only Christ. And through Him, in an orderly way, the other noble tasks of an ordinary Christian who is vocationally involved in the world. In a particular way, the Lord wants us to set our hearts on the persons of the human or supernatural family we have, who are, ordinarily, those whom we must first of all bring to God, and the first reality that we must sanctify.
Concern for others helps man to come out of his selfishness, to gain in generosity, to find true joy. He who knows he is called by the Lord to follow him closely no longer considers himself the center of the universe, because he has found many others to serve, in whom he sees Christ in need.
The example of parents in the home, or of siblings, is often definitive for the other members, who learn to see the world from a Christian environment. The family is of such importance, by divine will, that in it "the evangelizing action of the Church has its beginning". The family "is the first environment suitable for sowing the seed of the Gospel and where parents and children, like living cells, assimilate the Christian ideal of service to God and to their brothers and sisters ". It is a splendid place of apostolate. Let us examine today whether our family is like this, whether we are the leaven that day by day is transforming, little by little, those who live with us. If we frequently ask the Lord for the vocation of our children or brothers and sisters - or even of our parents - to a full dedication to God: the greatest grace that the Lord can give them, the true treasure that many can find.
