St. Rose Philippine Duchesne Parish in Anthem | Facebook
The Images of the Kingdom was the focus of St. Rose Philippine Duchesne’s weekly reflection on July 19.
An initial reading told the story of King Solomon and a dream he had in which the Lord asked him about his greatest desire. His answer said plenty about his character as he said he wanted nothing more than wisdom and understanding. He also asked how he could serve God and His people.
The reflection then asked parishioners of the Anthem church about the priorities and desires of their own hearts. It reminded them that we too can ask God for wisdom, which will be granted when asked with honesty and sincerity, and that is the real treasure.
The reflection quotes Psalm 37:4, which reads, “If you find your delight in the Lord, He will grant you your heart’s desire.”
It concluded by stating that glorifying God instead of seeking to be glorified is the greatest treasure to seek.
