His Word

Christmas Day is less than a month away from today. Although the Advent season has not started yet, indeed it already feels like Christmas. The usual decors, sounds and sights of the Yuletide Season are too big and loud for us to ignore. Christmas is just around the corner! The signs around us are clear. This is especially true in the Philippines where, it is said, the Christmas season is celebrated the longest in the world.
Jesus tells us that there are telltales about the coming of God’s Kingdom. Its signs are around us. We can only choose to be blind not to see them.
What are the signs of God’s Kingdom around us? What are the signs of God’s Kingdom in us? See them. Reflect on them. Live by them. Share them.
Jesus ends the Gospel today by telling us: "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away." Indeed, they never will. Each day, we hunger for His words. Without them, we will pass away. With them, the Kingdom of God is around us and is in us.
Reflection:
With the words of Jesus in my heart and manifested in my deeds, I myself am a sign that the Kingdom of God is already in our midst.
Word of God Eternal, Incarnate for love of us, hear my prayer and live in my heart always. Show Yourself to us through our deeds flowing from Your words. Give life to Your words in us. Amen.
