11th Week, Ordinary Time, Thursday, 18-06-15

2 Cor 11:1-11 / Matthew 6:7-15

Have we heard about the seven wonders of the world? Then again there are the seven wonders of the ancient world and the many wonders of the modern world.

The seven wonders of the ancient world have faded off and disappeared from the modern world.

And the modern world has more than just seven wonders. Almost everyday something marvellous appears and we wonder at the wonders that man can create.

Yes, the world is moving on ahead wonderfully with more and more wonders each day.

Can the same be said of the kingdom of God? It has been over two thousand years since Jesus came and how has Christianity progressed? How has the kingdom of God taken root on earth?

In the prayer that Jesus taught us, often called the Lord's Prayer, He mentioned about the coming of the kingdom of God.

In little and in wonderful ways the kingdom of God has taken root on earth and it will grow.

It must grow first of all in us. The kingdom of God can never be completed.

As long as the Lord's Prayer is being recited, the kingdom of God will grow.

May it continue to grow in our hearts so that it will grow in the world.
