O my God, I love Thee with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my strength and with no other desire than to be inseparably united to Thee. It is through Thy Divine Son that this union is about to be realized within me. In Holy Communion I long to identify myself with Him, that it will no longer be myself, but Him, who lives in me; and when I have received Jesus within myself, then I shall love and be loved by Thee in that same measure, in which I am united to Him. Hasten then, to give me Thy Divine Son, at the hands of Thy priest, that through Jesus, I may unite myself forever to Thee, O God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit.
First Reading Exodus Exodus 34:29-35
When Moses came down from the mountain of Sinai – as he came down from the mountain, Moses had the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands – he did not know that the skin on his face was radiant after speaking with the Lord. And when Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw Moses, the skin on his face shone so much that they would not venture near him. But Moses called to them, and Aaron with all the leaders of the community came back to him; and he spoke to them. Then all the sons of Israel came closer, and he passed on to them all the orders that the Lord had given him on the mountain of Sinai. And when Moses had finished speaking to them, he put a veil over his face. Whenever he went into the Lord’s presence to speak with him, Moses would remove the veil until he came out again. And when he came out, he would tell the sons of Israel what he had been ordered to pass on to them, and the sons of Israel would see the face of Moses radiant. Then Moses would put the veil back over his face until he returned to speak with the Lord.

Gospel Matthew 13:44-46
He sells everything he owns and buys the field
‘Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls; when he finds one of great value he goes and sells everything he owns and buys it.’
God's commandment and the Hidden Kingdom: Blessed are those whose ways
are blameless, who walk according to the law of
the Lord. Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek
him with all their heart, they do no wrong but follow
his ways. You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed. Oh,
that my ways were steadfast in obeying your decrees! Then
I would not be put to shame when I consider all your commands. I
will praise you with an upright heart as I learn your righteous
laws. I will obey your decrees; do not utterly forsake
me. How can a young person stay on the path of purity?
By living according to your word. I seek you
with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. Psalm 119:1-10
Lord Jesus Christ I trust in you. Blessed Virgin Mary pray for me. Saint Joseph pray for me.
