The kingdom of heaven
is the proclamation of the Gospel;
and that knowledge of the Scripture leads to life.

 
St. Jerome, 5th century

We dare not hide in a napkin
those mercies and that grace of God which have been given us,
not for our own sake only, but for the benefit of others.

 
Bl. John Henry Newman, 19th century

In her journey across the ocean of this world,
the Church is like a great ship being pounded
by the waves of life’s different stresses.
Our duty is not to abandon ship
but to keep her on her course.

 
St. Boniface, 8th century

Life is being with Christ,
because where Christ is, there is his Kingdom.

 
St. Ambrose, 4th century

The kingdom of God will grow up on earth,
will be brought to fulfillment, in the same way
it was established: by the daily and seemingly hidden lives
of those who do always the will of the Father.

 
Fr. Walter Ciszek SJ, imprisoned in Russia 23 yrs, 20th century

The kingdom of heaven
is the proclamation of the Gospel;
and that knowledge of the Scripture leads to life.

 
St. Jerome, 5th century

This life must be a preparation for the next.

 
Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati, 20th century

When Jesus speaks of the Kingdom of God,
he is quite simply proclaiming God,
and proclaiming him to be the living God,
who is able to act concretely in the world
and in history and is even now acting.

 
His Holiness, Benedict XVI
