Once a little fish swarm up to an elderly fish and inquired, “Where do I find this thing they call the Sea?” The wise old fish replied, “The Sea, my child, is the thing you are in right now.” “Don’t fool me. This is just plain water. I am looking for the Sea,” said the disappointed little fish as it swarm away in search of another consultation.
The Pharisees asked Jesus: “When would the Kingdom of God come”? “The Kingdom of God is among you,” answered the Christ. The wise see it, feel it, taste it, and live in it. Those who are not keep looking for it elsewhere and miss it, right under their nose.
The first reading sings the glories of Divine Wisdom. She enters holy souls, making them prophets and friends of God. Let us open ourselves to receive God’s Wisdom, and then we will have the inner sight to recognize the Kingdom that is already within us, around us, and among us.
