(School Mass)
The Kingdom of God is a place where good things happen. It’s a place where people are friends, where
they love each other, and enjoy being with each other. In the Kingdom of God nobody is sick and, if
somebody happens to be sick, they get healed and everything is okay.
It’s a place where there’s great music, and our eyes are wide
open, and we can see all the colors of life.
The Kingdom of God is a cozy place, just like when you feel all cozy
next to your dog or your cat. It’s a
friendly place; it’s a place where you’re loved for just being who you are. It’s a place where people smile and laugh and
have fun.
Now, you might be thinking: “Well, that sounds a little bit
like my life.” And that’s right! Jesus says, “the Kingdom of God is among you.” Wherever all these good things happen, there’s
the Kingdom of God.
Of course, sometimes bad things happen, too. You fall off your bike and get hurt. Or somebody says something mean to you; or you
say something mean to somebody else. Or
sometimes someone we love gets sick. Bad
things happen in life, too.
But that’s like when a storm comes. It gets all windy and rainy, and there’s
lighting and thunder, and it can be a little scary. But after all that…the sun comes out. God makes good things happen, even when life
goes badly sometimes.
The Kingdom of God is a place where good things happen. How lucky we are to know that the Kingdom of
God is “among us,” right here, now, today.
