“The seeds of Gods kingdom grow within us through lives filled with love for God and one another.” Today’s reflection from the Daily Mass
BIBLE READINGS: You can find the readings for Thursday of Week 32 here
Oscar Wilde said conversation about the weather was the last refuge of the unimaginative. And yet the British seem obsessed with talking about the weather.
According to research, 94% of British respondents admitted to having talked about the weather in the past six hours, while 38% say they have in the past 60 minutes. Whatever Oscar Wilde said, we will no doubt carry on being obsessed by the weather, wishing for sun, hoping for rain, wondering when the storm will come.
In the gospel reading, the Pharisees are viewing the kingdom of God like the weather. “When will it come?” they ask Jesus. His response is that that Kingdom of God won’t come in ways that can be observed. You can’t point it out ands say here it it or there it is. There is no weather forecast for the Kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is among you.
The seeds of Gods kingdom grow within us through lives filled with love for God and one another. It is revealed when we allow the Law of God’s love to control our lives. We experience the Kingdom when we seek peace and reconciliation, and when God’s justice prevails—when the hungry are fed and the poor have good things.
By the way, today’s weather forecast is sunny intervals and light winds with a high of 15 degrees.
