When the Pharisees asked Jesus when the Kingdom of God would come, he answered, "The coming of the Kingdom of God cannot be observed, and no one will ever announce, 'Look, here it is'; or, 'There it is.' For behold the Kingdom of god is among you.'" (Some translations read, "within" you.) (Lk 17:20)
The Book of Wisdom sheds some light on what makes the Kingdom alive among or within us: When we see "the spirit of Wisdom, intelligent, holy, unique,/ Manifold, subtle, agile, clear, unstained, certain, / not bashful, loving the good, keen,/ unhampered, beneficent, kindly,/ Firm secure. tranquil,/ all-powerful, all-seeing,/ and Pervading all spirits,/ though they be intelligent, pure and very subtle", we have a clear description of what life in the Kingdom is meant to be. Peaceful, quiet ( no noise stimulating or annoying us at every turn), free of anxiety, worry or stress...a world we long for and can have if we but put the skids on our busyness and take time during each day to STOP, REFLECT, DELVE INTO THE DEPTHS OF OUR SOUL and give the spirit of Wisdom a chance.
