Seek Wisely

Jesus tells us that the kingdom of God is among or, in an equally valid translation of the Greek, within us. But how do we recognize the Kingdom that is among and within us? What do we look for? Solomon suggests a very good place for us to start, with his poetic words of praise for wisdom in the first reading. Where we find wisdom, we find the presence of God — within us and among us. Cultivate eyes to see and ears to hear the wisdom that comes from your own heart, and from the words and example of other prayerful people. Seek wisdom and you’ll find the Kingdom.
