Newman: in the heart

Monday, October 10, 2022
    Feast of Paulinus, Bishop of York, Missionary, 644
Meditation:
    Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is within you.”
    —Luke 17:20-21 (NIV)
Quotation:
    He who attempts to set up God’s kingdom in his heart, furthers it in the world.
