I know that I am sitting in front of this screen seeing words pass out of my brain through to my fingertips and keyboard to appear before me. I also know that this is not the "Kingdom of Heaven". 

Some of Jesus questioners were trying to trick him into giving heretical answers. Some, like the rich young man and the scribe of today's Gospel were trying to probe what it was that gave this "carpenter" the charisma that inspired others to hang onto his every word. These were sincerely looking for the "Kingdom of Heaven".

There are very few times that Jesus, "but I say to you, love your enemies", condemns any one whom he meets during his lifetime. He condemns the towns that refused his teaching and warns the scribes and pharisees that most of their "religion" is empty show. Their religion was far from the "Kingdom of Heaven".

Jesus is for yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Absolute perfection cannot change. Our Father knows that his chosen creation, mankind, however can always go rushing off after the trivia that is the work of our hands. We continue to threaten our souls by treating our material goods as gods and it is to the very back of  our minds that we push the "Kingdom of Heaven".

Dear Lord, help me to never lose track of your way, truth and life which is the only goal that can bring me and mine into the perfect love that can only be shared by consistently being attentive to your will for us. You know me and reveal my sins  so that my life on Earth can become cooperation with all disciples who pray as taught by you, IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT, to seek the infinity of grace that is Jesus, Son of God, the perfect peace where we find total joy, Your "Kingdom of Heaven".
