Please don’t judge me, but I have been into AI lately, especially image-based AI. Image-based AI, you can type in a prompt, and then the artificial intelligence will create an image. And so, I gave AI two prompts. The first was Captain America praying a rosary. And the second was Pope Francis as a Chicago Cubs fan. As you can see, AI is incredible. Technology is incredible.
But in the gospel today, Jesus speaks about the Pearl of Great Price, that a man is willing to sell all that he has for the pearl, which is the Kingdom of Heaven. What are we willing to give up for the Kingdom of Heaven because we are so willing to give up so much money to get the newest technology? Jesus reminds us there is something greater that we are called to, which is eternity. Turn to the one who promises eternal life to us. Give him everything. Obtain the Pearl of Great Price.

God Keeps His Promises
So I’m sure many of you during school have had a teacher like Professor Trelawney. That’s right. Someone is a bit goofy, and she is someone who has a few screws loose but is nice.
