For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also

This phrase from the Bible echoed in me today as I was wandering alone around Dallas in a hot saturday afternoon, far from home and family with one whole more week before seeing the ones I love again. All in a sudden I heard a distant though familiar sound of bells, and following it I got to the beautiful cathedral "Shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe". I entered with other people approaching the church and attended the Holy Mass; it was in spanish, but the structure of the service is exactly the same everywhere, so I could easily follow it. The Holy Gospel of today was about putting attention to what really matters in life, and the priest preached the importance of friends and family, and how important it is to pay them time and attention.
They say that nothing happens by pure chanche, and today I had another confirmation of how this is really true! I miss my loved ones, but I'm not here by chanche, nor it was a pure chanche hearing that bell in the distance ... getting to an unexpected familiar place in a stranger and so different country.
We shall all put attention to what really matters to us, where our treasure is. In case of doubt, ask your heart, he knows the answer!
