Transfiguration.A.23
Luke 9:28-36

In 2002, the actress Jamie Lee Curtis, who was then 43 years old, made the bold (some might say foolhardy) decision to pull back the curtain on airbrushing (the art of touching up photographs). She agreed to be photographed for a magazine spread, but only if the photographer, Andrew Eccles, would also shoot her with no makeup, no manicure, no hair styling, wearing only an exercise bra and underwear.
Proper 12.A.23
Matthew 13:31-33, 44-52

“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.”
Of all the parables told by Jesus, this is one of the shortest, taking up all of one verse…one sentence. But it is the custom of Our Lord, is it not, to say a good deal with few words….and, truth be told…who doesn’t like a good treasure story.

Wisdom 12:13, 16-19
