別以為卡洛琳公主會這樣閒到世界末日，好日子總是過得快，我已經沒有逃避的空間了，最近開始忙了，忙工作、忙煩惱學業(僅限煩惱)，忙世青的最後準備，要帶的、要採買的東西真是多，而且一切都是錢、錢、錢，這是最討人厭的部分。忙到我也沒有時間看韓劇，終於昨晚把金三順的完結篇看了，金三順內容正好呼應今天的福音。為要去世界青年日的朋友們，這也是個很好的準備。 Coincidently Kim Samsoo reflects part of today’s gospel. What’s the precious pearl we are looking for?
聖瑪竇福音 13:44-46
那時，耶穌對群眾說：「天國好像是藏在地裡的寶貝；人找到了，就把它藏起來；高興地賣掉他所有的一切，買了那塊地。天國又好像一個尋找完美珍珠的商人；他一找到一顆寶貴的珍珠，就去賣掉他所有的一切，買了它。」
今天的福音耶穌將天國比喻為珍珠寶貝，商人找著了寧願放棄一切也要擁有他。無論我們信仰哪個宗教，都有天堂或極樂世界之類的境地。在三順的世界裡，她的天堂有一個部分就是一份美好的愛情，特別是三石的愛。但這份愛常讓她感覺痛苦，她慷慨地讓三石送前女友回美國一週，但一個月來，三石沒有回來更音訊全無，三順和家人都很失望與難過。傷心的三順在公車站牌看到了，這樣的一段廣告文案：
去愛吧！像不曾受過一次傷一樣！
跳舞吧！像沒有人欣賞一樣！
去愛吧！像不曾受過一次傷一樣！
唱歌吧！像沒有人聆聽一樣！
幹活吧！像不需要錢一樣！
生活吧！像今日是末日一樣！
這一小段文案也正相似於今日的福音精神，就去做吧！忘記過去的，不在乎別人的眼光，就是為自己而做。而福音的廣度更大，祂要我們更要捨棄全部去追求美好的那一份。
牧羊少年奇幻之旅中的「天命」，保羅柯賀的鋪陳似乎把他弄複雜難懂了，回到福音中，就是個簡單的「珍珠寶貝」，在準備世青的同時，就讓我回到心底最誠實的聲音，去發現我想的「珍珠寶貝」是什麼？再來，就是Just do it了！
Gospel Mt 13:44-46 Jesus said to his disciples:
"The Kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field,
which a person finds and hides again,
and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
Again, the Kingdom of heaven is like a merchant
searching for fine pearls.
When he finds a pearl of great price,
he goes and sells all that he has and buys it."
Today’s gospel suggests us find our precious pearl and give all we have to buy it. One girl friend told me about another elder girl friend’s life. This elder girl friend told her that there was nothing could excite her now. There is no man could make her eager for and make her strive for his love. When I first heard this, I felt sorry about this situation, although she absolutely feels good, comfortable and confident about it. I would do feel sad if I find there is neither man nor event could arise my interests. After reading today’s gospel, I more or less can understand why this elder girl friend feels comfortable with her current life. She knows well what the precious pearl of her life is. At least, she knows it’s not any ordinary man or any ordinary event that can bring her happy. Where is my precious pearl? Maybe I should figure it out what it is first.
