Who among you is closest to God's Kingdom? Who best pursues the divine hunger?
Homily for Thursday in the Thirty-Second Week in Ordinary Time, delivered in one of our Catholic Schools, Gladstone, Qld.
"Within Wisdom is a spirit intelligent, holy, unique, manifold, subtle, active, incisive, unsullied, lucid, invulnerable, benevolent, sharp, irresistible, beneficent, loving to man,
steadfast, dependable, unperturbed, almighty, all-surveying, penetrating all intelligent, pure and most subtle spirits; for Wisdom is quicker to move than any motion; she is so pure, she pervades and permeates all things. She is a breath of the power of God, pure emanation of the glory of the Almighty; hence nothing impure can find a way into her. She is a reflection of the eternal light, untarnished mirror of God’s active power, image of his goodness. Although alone, she can do all; herself unchanging, she makes all things new. In each generation she passes into holy souls, she makes them friends of God and prophets; for God loves only the man who lives with Wisdom." (cf. Wis 7).
"Let your face shine on your servant and teach me your decrees. Give life to my soul that I may praise you. Let your decrees give me help; Your word is for ever, O Lord." (cf. Ps 119).
"Asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was to come, Jesus gave them this answer, ‘The coming of the kingdom of God does not admit of observation and there will be no one to say, “Look here! Look there!” For, you must know, the kingdom of God is among you.’" (cf. Lk 17:20).
