Saint Antony of Padua, Priest, Doctor
Thursday of week 10 in Ordinary Time
“The kingdom of God is very near to you.” This is what Jesus told his disciples to say to the world. This is what Jesus wants that the world hears. We say this to a person and when he looks who is near to him or her, he or she will find us. That’s means we testify the kingdom of God. The others must recognize the kingdom of God in our actions. They must see the kingdom of God in our gestures. They must listen the voice of the kingdom of God in our words. They must see that the values of the kingdom of God in our life. This is the will of Jesus Christ about each disciple when he asked each disciple to preach to the world, “The kingdom of God is very near to you”. St. Antony of Padua manifested the kingdom of God in his life. Let’s reflect: How much I am a manifestation of the kingdom of God?
