00486 – The Kingdom of God
McBrien, Richard P.

We can define the Kingdom of God as the redemptive presence of God. The redemptive presence of God can be found in everyday personal experiences.

Whenever people love one another, bear one another’s burdens, work to build up a just and peaceful community—wherever people are of humble heart, open to the Creator and serving their neighbor—God’s redemptive and liberating presence is being manifested. God’s Kingdom and loving rule is in operation there.
