Jesus tells us that the Kingdom of God is among us.
This is a new kind of kingdom, one in which we all have membership. This Kingdom is as rich as we are, as poor as we are, as joyful, as hateful, as generous or as mean. We reflect it. We magnify it. And so Christ tells us that each one of us has an influence upon the quality of this Kingdom.
As Mary says, let me magnify the greatness of the Lord. Then i ask myself: How hard am i working to reflect the Lord's greatness in this, our Kingdom?
Some days i see God everywhere and thank him. Some days i forget. On these days i later know that i have been lost in my Self, distracted. And when i settle back into the Wisdom of His presence, i am at peace and thank him again. And i am present for others, able to extend a charitable hand, and thank him once more.
Oremus:
I would like to pray for the elderly, especially those who have lived beyond the lifespan of their children, family and friends. May they approach each morning with renewd strength to carry on for themselves and for those around them. May they know joy living and share the wisdom of a long life. Amen.
Deo gratias.
