The first Sunday in the Great Lent and is known as Treasure Sunday.

Liturgy reading is from the Gospel according to St Matthew (6:19 - 33).

Our Lord for Him is the Glory says: “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.” (Matthew 6: 19, 20)

** Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth because it is subject to loss and is not everlasting. Furthermore, we won’t take these treasures with us when we depart from this life to eternal life.

**We should always remember the saying of Job the righteous “Naked I came from my mother's womb, And naked shall I return there.” (Job 1:20)
