"Where is your treasure, there will also be your heart" (Matteo 6: 19-23)
Biblical reflections by Mauro Leonardi*, priest and writer
Between body and soul there is no division, for this reason the body must work to guarantee true life to itself and to the soul, fighting for those assets that neither time nor space, nor can they remove us and that return us to our full dignity and a deep relationship with the Father.
From the Gospel according to Matthew 6: 19-23
At that time, Jesus told his disciples:
«Do not accumulate for you treasures on earth, where Tarma and Rust consume and where thieves broke and steal; Instead, accumulated for you treasures in the sky, where neither tarma nor rust consume and where thieves do not break and do not steal.
Because, where is your treasure, there will also be your heart there.
The body lamp is the eye; therefore, if your eye is simple, your whole body will be bright; but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be dark. so if The light that is in you is darkness, how big the darkness will be! ».
