Gospel: Matthew 6: 19-23
Jesus said to his disciples:
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth,
where moth and decay destroy, and thieves break in and steal.
But store up treasures in heaven,
where neither moth nor decay destroys, nor thieves break in and steal.
For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.
“The lamp of the body is the eye.
If your eye is sound, your whole body will be filled with light;
but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be in darkness.
And if the light in you is darkness, how great will the darkness be.”
The Gospel of the Lord.

If you’ve ever traveled through an airport, then you know the drill of going through security.
You must empty your pockets, remove your belt and shoes, separate your electronics, and slide everything you’ve packed onto a conveyor belt.
Then approach the x-ray scanner with your arms up, pockets empty, shoes off.
That narrow gate has no room for excess luggage. We ourselves can barely fit!
***
Isn’t that an appropriate image for life?
We cannot take anything with us when we pass through that narrow gate of death; all we can bring with us are the good works we’ve done, the faith we’ve exercised, and the relationships we’ve nurtured.
“Do not store up for yourself treasures on earth, where moth and decay can destroy,” Jesus says, “but store up treasures in heaven.”

How much treasure might I have stored up in heaven?

May we spend this day doing what matters – loving our God with all our heart and serving Him in our neighbor.
As Saint Paul reminds us, “Only faith, hope, and love remain, and the greatest of these is love” (1 Corinthians 13:13).

Some booking sites say no license is mandatory, while others are more demanding. Could anyone confirm the actual rules or share official details on this?
