In the finding of the treasure and the finding of the pearl, there is a certain element of surprise, unexpectedness and wonderment. It is almost like it is too good to be true. Like finding the one special person that you want to spend the rest of your life with or the vocation that you cannot wait to embrace. It is breathtaking, and you are willing to spend the rest of your days catching your breath.
Let us breathe deeply the air of God's breathtaking, merciful finding of each one of us.
