Where You Stumble, Dig for Treasure

Timon of Athens -- 

Timon is a Bachelor, the only 

unmarried Shakespearian Hero, 

without a Family : 

There is no House of Timon.

He invests in People, The People of Athens, 

but the WRONG people, 

and they take advantage of him and fail to help him 

when his financial generosity 

makes him indebted and ruins him 

as a Citizen of Athens.

Only outside The City Walls, as a Hermit, 

when he goes to dig under the roots 

of a tree in The Wilderness, 

does he discover True Gold -- 

and so, when he dies, 

he dies THREE Deaths : 

The Death of The Body,

The Death of His Public Reputation 

and The Rebirth.

 Where You Stumble, Dig for Treasure - 

Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon

Friends, our first reading for this Sunday

is a section of the marvelous story of

Naaman The Syrian

from the Second Book of Kings.

The Spiritual Lesson is This :

Where you Stumble,

Dig for Treasure.

We all have some leprosy — some ailment or struggle

or weakness that embarrasses us or makes us suffer.

Precisely because it leads us on The Path of Humility,

this leprosy, this debility, leads us to God.
