Isaiah 11:1-10; Psalm 72; Luke 10:21-24

God reigns among us

Isaiah gives us a wonderful image of the Kingdom, the Reign of God, which is present here and now when we forgive, share, console and support one another, when colour, race, prejudice or language or even deep hurts we may have suffered, do not keep us apart. Jesus reveals to us the one-ness between the Father and himself and invites us into this unity. Drawn into the circle of Love which is the Trinity, we learn to surrender so that God can love others through us. In this way, little by little, our world will be transformed into a place where God reigns.
