Bishop Paul invites us to ask ourselves if we are “blissful”—not as a passing mood, but as a deep posture of the soul, rooted in the reality of the kingdom God has given us. To be “blessed” is to live with an unshakable joy that comes from receiving the kingdom of heaven, which stands at the center of the gospel. When this bliss is missing, it means we have lost sight of the kingdom—but the good news is that it can be found again through the promise and perspective of God’s reign.
