GOD'S KINGDOM IS NOT JUST THERE BUT IS BEING BUILT HERE.............

God's Kingdom of Eternal Life Jesus re-opened by His Paschal Mystery is the goal, priority, and ultimate destination of every Believer, Follower, Disciple, of the Living and True God of All Creation.  It is not a disconnected, far away place distantly beyond the sky, as only a future state to be reached and experienced everlastingly; but is present and blossoming here and now on earth to be responded to and built by us.  How do we build God's Kingdom as Disciples of Jesus The Risen Christ and Members of the Community of Believers - the Church ?  By doing our utmost as conscientious and committed human beings redeemed by Jesus, to live moral and ethical lives steeped in the Ten Commandments, the Beatitudes, the Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy, and the Gospel Values preached and practiced by Jesus during His Public Ministry, and the Apostles and other First Christians in the Early Church.  Also in the Church and World here and now, we must do what the Second Vatican Council called all Catholic-Christians to do : by answering the Universal Call to Holiness.  The Commandments, Beatitudes, Works of Mercy, and Gospel Values are the master keys to opening the doors of unconditional response to the Call to Holiness and accordingly to building up the Coming of the Kingdom of God.  During this 5th Week of Easter discern and determine the way you will respond to Building God's Kingdom in Holiness tapping the guideposts of Divine mandate and Human opportunity to make the contribution to the Coming of the Kingdom being asked of you.............Fr.  Troy
