Reflection
  
LIKE TREASURE HIDDEN IN A FIELD

Where is the Kingdom of God?
How to recognise it?
Has it an anthem like a country, a flag like a nation, a language of its own?

In the middle of the heart of
experience is found the Kingdom of God.
Through the gaps of life, shines the Kingdom of God.
Like treasure hidden in a field.
 
Glimpsed in the narrow gaps between tight thoughts and you're surprised by a new idea. Glimpsed in the narrow gaps between people who know each other and you're surprised by the newness of one you love. Glimpsed in the narrow gap of acceptance of injustice and inequality and you're surprised by new initiatives.

There is no flag, no anthem, no language separate from the flag, anthem and language of our experience of life: the flag, anthem and language of love, compassion, truth, of the works of justice, of Eucharist.

Like treasure hidden in a field.
