Scripture/Bible: Since it was the day of
Preparation, in order to prevent the bodies from remaining on the cross on the
sabbath (for that sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their
legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 32 So the soldiers came and
broke the legs of the first, and of the other who had been crucified with him; 33 but when they came to
Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 But one of the soldiers
pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water. 35 He who saw it has borne
witness - his testimony is true, and he knows that he tells the truth - that
you also may believe. 36 For these things took
place that the scripture might be fulfilled, "Not a bone of him shall be
broken." 37 And again another
scripture says, "They shall look on him whom they have pierced." John 19:31-37
Reflection: A
hidden treasure that is found by someone can become the exclusive property of
that person.
What about the treasures of
the earth which are so freely available to anyone, such as the sunshine, the water,
the wind which are freely available?
They are not usually the exclusive property of anyone.
Very
rarely would a person who has discovered a hidden property will make it available
freely for public use and the benefits thereof for the public at large. What could be best solution, is for the owner in his
life time to do so by bequeathing to a foundation or an entity that will make
it freely available for the benefit of the public.
Christ
Jesus incarnated carrying the greatest treasure ever which human have always
looked for. to seek for this treasure is an innate desire in the heart of any man; life, freedom and
eternal happiness.
Who
doesn’t seek it?
Of
course some seek it here in their ignorance either by striving every bit to
prolong their lives or through the various addictions of life, which in freedom
only pushes us on to more bondages and wretchedness.
Blood
and water that flowed from his Sacred Heart was that treasure bequeathed to
humanity, visibly shown and documented by the Apostle John so that believing you
may life that leads to freedom and happiness. (cfr. 20:31; 10:10)
Prayer: Lord, may I be
blessed with all the riches of assured
understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, of Christ, in whom are hid
all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.(cfr.Col 2:2-3)
