Gospel: Luke 17:20-25
Then he said to his disciples, “The days
will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you
will not see it. There will be those who will say to you, ‘Look, there he is,’
or ‘Look, here he is.’ Do not go off, do not run in pursuit. For just as
lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the
Son of Man be in his day. But first he must suffer greatly and be rejected by
this generation.”

Reflection:
When do you say that the kingdom of God is within you already? It is when you are not afraid of anything that may happen to you for you know that somebody very powerful is in charge. If you already have Jesus in your life you would even embrace death because you know that death is the last passage before you meet God.
How could you have His kingdom within you? It’s when you faithfully follow Him in your words and deeds. It’s when you have your regular moment of interactions with Jesus. This is when you would feel the presence of God in your life.
For those who believe that Jesus Christ is their Lord and savior the kingdom of God is within them already. For those who choose to follow the path of sacrifice of Jesus the kingdom of God is within them already. For those who are meek and humble the kingdom of God is within them already.
For those who surrender their lives in the hands of God amidst the chaos and worries of this world the kingdom of God is within them already. The kingdom of God is also your rock solid faith in Jesus for He is your safe refuge whenever you are being battered by the trials of daily life.
Do you already have the kingdom of God? –
