WITNESSES AND PARTNERS


OF GOD’S WONDERS
T
oday, we are invited to meditate on the wonders of God’s King-
dom. This marvelous gift has its roots in the love of the Lord for
all mankind. It is God’s PROJECT and this very fact guarantees the
success of this undertaking in which all human beings are invited to par-
ticipate as partners.
This project of the Kingdom was launched by God’s Incarnate Son,
Jesus Christ. It found in him not only the most zealous herald, but also
its most perfect actualization and, therefore, our most inspiring model
to emulate.
In this Eucharist, we will praise the Lord for the marvelous growth of
the Kingdom in ourselves and around us. We will also thank Him for hav-
ing made us not only witnesses of these wonders, but also His humble
partners in facilitating the growth of the Kingdom.
