Today’s Gospel

The Pharisees asked Jesus when the kingdom of God was to come. He answered, “The kingdom of God is not like something you can observe, and say of it, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘See, there it is!’ for the kingdom of God is within you.”

And Jesus said to his disciples, “The time is at hand, when you will long to see one of the glorious days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. Then people will tell you, ‘Look there! Look here!’ Do not go with them, do not follow them. As lightning flashes from one end of the sky to the other, so will it be with the Son of Man; but first he must suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation.

Today’s Reflection

Jesus pointed out to the Pharisees that the Kingdom of God is not a territorial entity. It Creates an indwelling in our hearts, where God reigns and operates as we submit to His presence and manifests itself in our being. As the book of wisdom read, it renews and penetrates all things, becoming a mirror of God’s  action  and an image of His goodness. It opens us to the Paschal Mystery of Christ and helps us understand it in a new light.
