Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

The gospel tells about a man who found a treasure and sold all he had to possess it.
Today Jesus tells married couples and parents to TOTALLY INVEST in the real
treasures in our life; our faith, spouse, children and grandchildren. Marriage is not a
50-50 proposition and parenting is not a part time job.
