Pearl of great price

A prayer based on the Mass readings

for the 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time

[1 Kings 3:5, 7-12; Romans 8:28-30; Matthew 13:44-52]

Lord my God,

Grant me a heart

full of wisdom

and understanding

so that I may
see as you see,

treasure your treasure,

and then joyfully

share that vision,

that treasure,

with the world.

Amen.
