Psalm 145(146):7-10
Luke 17:20-25
The kingdom of God is among you.
Jesus described God’s kingdom as both a present reality and an event that will be fully revealed at the end of time.in order to appreciate the beauty of Christ’s kingdom, consider the lives of the venerable servants , the saints—and, indeed, all who live in a state of grace—are citizens of this glorious kingdom. Sainthood is not limited to those who have been formally canonized; some saints live among us and contribute to the good of society.
St. Josaphat was known for his humility and his commitment to unity between the Eastern Orthodox Church and Rome. Guided by the Holy Spirit and grounded in virtue, he worked to foster unity and reconciliation within the universal Church. He was killed by a mob during a pastoral visit to Vitebsk. Humility opens the way to a deeper relationship with God. Through humility, we become more receptive to God’s presence among us. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us
