The Pharisees in today\u2019s Gospel asked Jesus when the Kingdom of God would come. They were doubtless asking this within messianic expectations, that the kingdom of God would erupt by building the type of momentum to fulfill Jewish hopes in evicting the Romans from Israel and reestablishing the Davidic throne. It was fundamentally\u00a0a political reality, their notion of a theocracy. In the question, they were probably egging Jesus on to see whether he thought he was the Messiah and what his future plans might be. But Jesus, as he is wont to do, transcended the question. He said that the inauguration of the Kingdom wouldn\u2019t be a spectacle to be observed. There wouldn&#8217;t\u00a0be trumpets sounding. There wouldn&#8217;t be &#8220;Hail to the King!&#8221; There wouldn&#8217;t\u00a0be heralds indicating that the kingdom is \u201chere\u201d or \u201cthere.\u201d Rather, Jesus says, \u201cBehold, the Kingdom of God is among you.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>This means two things. First, that the Kingdom had already come because the King was present. The Kingdom is where the King is and Jesus was already present. Secondly the Kingdom had already come because people had already embraced it, entered it and were living in it because they were living with the King. There\u2019s a couplet in the Our Father in which we pray first \u201cThy kingdom come!\u201d and then repeat it in other words, \u201cThy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.\u201d The Kingdom of God is wherever God\u2019s will is done, whenever one begins to live in relationship with God and his kingdom. Jesus reveals to us various other qualities about his kingdom and the conditions for entering it and living in it. He says that the kingdom of heaven belongs to those who are \u201cpoor in spirit,\u201d to those who treasure God more than all the treasures of the world. He says that it belongs to those who convert and become like little children, who trust in God and accept it as a gift. He says that the kingdom is like a wedding banquet full of joy and those who live in the kingdom are those who are profoundly and serenely joyful. He says the kingdom grows like a mustard seed or yeast, imperceptible to people on the outside but the growth is real. He says its like a buried treasure or a pearl of great price, a net cast into the sea or a field with wheat and weeds. By each of these realities Jesus was indicating qualities of the Kingdom.\u00a0Cardinal Ratzinger, the future Pope Benedict XVI, said very powerfully back in 2000 in a talk to catechists from around the world, \u201cThe kingdom of God \u2026 is \u2018not a thing.\u2019 The Kingdom of God is God. The Kingdom of God means: God exists. God is alive. God is present and acts in the world, in our \u2013 in my life. God is not a faraway \u2018ultimate cause,\u2019 God is not the \u2018great architect\u2019 of deism, who created the machine of the world and is no longer part of it \u2013 on the contrary: God is the most present and decisive reality in each and every act of my life, in each and every moment of history.\u201d The kingdom has come to a person\u00a0when God is truly God of each and every act of one\u2019s life. The Kingdom of God is living within the reality of the incarnate King of Kings.<\/li>\n<li>When we enter into that kingdom, everything changes and all other kingdoms are relativized. We see that in today\u2019s first reading. St. Paul writes to Philemon whom he had evangelized and brought into the Church in Colossae. He had a slave, Onesimus, who had escaped and come to Rome where he encountered St. Paul, whom doubtless he had at least seen in Colossae. He served St. Paul for a time, but Onesimus was a fugitive. St. Paul wanted to restore his standing in a way that would help both Onesimus and Philemon. So he sent him back but with what became the Letter to Philemon. In that letter, St. Paul described how things change when we\u2019re really living in the kingdom. In the Roman empire, Onesimus was simply a slave and because he had escaped Philemon could have him cruelly punished and even executed. But the reality and rules of the kingdom needed to trump Roman law. St. Paul said, \u201cI am sending him, my heart, back to you, \u2026 so that you might have him back forever, no longer as a slave but more than a slave, a brother, beloved especially to me but even more so to you, as a man and in the Lord. \u2026 Welcome him as you would me.\u201d In the kingdom, we grasp that there is no longer Jew or Greek, no longer free or slave, but we\u2019re all beloved sons and daughters of God and therefore brothers and sisters of each other. St. Paul was confident that Philemon would live by the values of the kingdom and the fact that we have the letter today is clearly a sign that he did. In a similar way, living in the Kingdom needs to change the way we interact, needs to change all our human interactions. In the kingdom, we recognize that the poor, the hungry, the thirsty, the naked, the stranger, the ill, and the imprisoned need to be treated with the love with which we would treat Christ. We recognize that even notorious sinners are beloved by God who died for them and therefore must have the door of conversion opened to them. We recognize that those whom the world considers nobodies are often given special missions to reduce to humility those who think they\u2019re somebodies. We look at everyone \u2014 Democrat or Republican, Liberal or Conservative, Black or White or Brown, Yellow or Red, Male or Female \u2014 with love. Today\u2019s Gospel is an occasion for us to ask whether we\u2019re really living in that kingdom, whether God is the \u201cmost present and decisive reality in each and every act of my life.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Someone who lived in the kingdom, who was in the world but not of it, during very difficult times in the Church and in the political sphere, is the saint we f\u00eate today. He&#8217;s one of the greatest saints who has ever lived,\u00a0Pope St. Leo the Great (d. 461). He is such a huge figure inside the Church \u2014 as a deacon of the Church in Rome, he strengthened the baptismal faith of everyone; his famous baptismal verses teaching the meaning of the Sacrament still adorn the octagonal baldachin over the Lateran baptistery; he strengthened the Marian faith of everyone, being the Archdeacon under Pope Sixtus III charged with building St. Mary Major Basilica to enshrine the Church\u2019s teaching that Mary is Mother of God, which had just been infallibly defined at the Council of Ephesus in 431; he strengthened likewise everyone\u2019s faith in Christ, writing his famous\u00a0<em>Tome\u00a0<\/em>against Eutyches, who claimed that Jesus only had a human body and soul but not a human intellectual spirit, which would not make him fully human. His Tome was decisive at the Council of Ephesus; Leo\u2019s Christmas homilies were also very formative to help people to grasp the meaning of the incarnate, and the meaning of the kingdom \u2014 but he was a huge figure outside the Church. His\u00a0bravery than led him to confront Attila the Hun in 452 and divert Attila from his plans to pillage Rome the same way he and his armies had despoiled so many other cities in northern Italy. He fought against the Goths the following year. He\u00a0fought against the ecclesiastically and socially dissociative heresies of Arianism, Pelagianism, Manichaeism, Priscillianism, Nestorianism and Eutychism precisely because he was fighting for Church and social unity. And he was able to fight because he knew he wasn&#8217;t fighting alone, that the incarnate Lord, the true King, was with him. And he wasn&#8217;t afraid of suffering. If Christ&#8217;s kingdom was consistent with the Son of Man&#8217;s &#8220;suffer[ing] greatly and be[ing] rejected by this generation,&#8221; then he knew he might have to suffer as well, but the Kingdom would still be at hand.<\/li>\n<li>The Kingdom of God, as Pope Benedict said, is God and one of the most important ways we seek to live in the Kingdom is to unite ourselves with\u00a0the King. When we come to receive Holy Communion, we allow Christ the Kingdom to establish his throne within us, so that the Kingdom of God may truly be within us. The Kingdom, as Jesus says, is not something that will be announced by pointing here and there, but for us as Christians is something that we are called to bear within. Through the intercession of St. Leo the Great, we ask the Lord Jesus\u00a0for the grace that as we receive him within we may not do so routinely, but in such a way that we may make him the \u201cmost present and decisive reality in our life,\u201d as we seek to spread his\u00a0kingdom and do his will just as St. Leo did both on earth as he\u00a0continues to do in heaven.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>The readings for today\u2019s Mass were:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"bibleReadingsWrapper\">\n<h4>Reading 1\u00a0<a id=\"\/bible\/philemon\/1:7|\" href=\"http:\/\/usccb.us8.list-manage1.com\/track\/click?u=b927174dbe854683d4b527f98&amp;id=395405fae6&amp;e=b55e3798ee\">phlm 7-20<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"poetry\">Beloved:<br \/>\nI have experienced much joy and encouragement from your love,<br \/>\nbecause the hearts of the holy ones<br \/>\nhave been refreshed by you, brother.<br \/>\nTherefore, although I have the full right in Christ<br \/>\nto order you to do what is proper,<br \/>\nI rather urge you out of love,<br \/>\nbeing as I am, Paul, an old man,<br \/>\nand now also a prisoner for Christ Jesus.<br \/>\nI urge you on behalf of my child Onesimus,<br \/>\nwhose father I have become in my imprisonment,<br \/>\nwho was once useless to you but is now useful to both you and me.<br \/>\nI am sending him, that is, my own heart, back to you.<br \/>\nI should have liked to retain him for myself,<br \/>\nso that he might serve me on your behalf<br \/>\nin my imprisonment for the Gospel,<br \/>\nbut I did not want to do anything without your consent,<br \/>\nso that the good you do might not be forced but voluntary.<br \/>\nPerhaps this is why he was away from you for a while,<br \/>\nthat you might have him back forever,<br \/>\nno longer as a slave but more than a slave, a brother,<br \/>\nbeloved especially to me, but even more so to you,<br \/>\nas a man and in the Lord.<br \/>\nSo if you regard me as a partner, welcome him as you would me.<br \/>\nAnd if he has done you any injustice<br \/>\nor owes you anything, charge it to me.<br \/>\nI, Paul, write this in my own hand: I will pay.<br \/>\nMay I not tell you that you owe me your very self.<br \/>\nYes, brother, may I profit from you in the Lord.<br \/>\nRefresh my heart in Christ.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bibleReadingsWrapper\">\n<h4>Responsorial Psalm\u00a0<a id=\"\/bible\/psalms\/146:7|\" href=\"http:\/\/usccb.us8.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=b927174dbe854683d4b527f98&amp;id=1a648df8cf&amp;e=b55e3798ee\">ps 146:7, 8-9a, 9bc-10<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"poetry\">R.
