Dear Brother, I have received much joy and comfort from your love because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you. Therefore, although I am bold enough in Christ to order you to do what you ought, I prefer to appeal to your love to ask you to do this. I, Paul, an old man now and also a prisoner for Christ Jesus, appeal to you for my son, Onesimus, whom I begot while in my chains. He who is useless to you has become useful to all. You and me, I send it back to you. Please accept it as my own flesh and blood. As for me, I also want to keep it. He remained with me, that he might minister to me in your stead while I am in chains for the gospel. But I did not want to do anything without your consent, lest your good deeds should seem forced and not voluntary. Perhaps he was separated from you for a time so that you might have him back for good, not as a slave, but more than a slave, as a beloved brother. And if this is so to me, how much more so to you, both as a human being and as a brother in the Lord. If, then, you regard me as a fellow believer, welcome him as you would welcome me. If he has wronged you or owes you anything, let me take it all. I, Paul, write this with my own hand. I will repay it. I need not tell you that you owe me anything. That debt is to you. Yes, brother, let me have that joy in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ. The Gospel of Jesus Christ According to St. Luke At that time the Pharisees asked Jesus when the kingdom of God would come. Jesus answered them, The kingdom of God is not coming with things that can be observed. Nor will people say, Here he is, or, There he is, because, behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst. Then Jesus said to his disciples, The days are coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. People will say to you, There he is, or, Here he is. Do not go away or run after them. For if the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day. But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. The word of the Lord The message of the kingdom of God is among us. Just accept Jesus and you will see the kingdom of God. Let us live fully in the present moment to wait for the Lord. Pray, Lord Jesus, although I am living in this earthly homeland, my true homeland is heaven. My life today, with daily activities to build my earthly homeland, are all efforts to prepare for my future life in heaven. However, there are times when I let my work sweep me away like a whirlwind. My mind forgets God, my heart is dry and cold. Looking back at the past, I see myself empty-handed with no merit other than sin. I am not ready to welcome the day of the Lord. Lord, the past mistakes are gone. The future is in your loving arms. Only the present, every second of today's life, belongs to me. I will be eternally happy or I will suffer eternally depending on how I use the present moment. Lord, you are the eternal One who lived the full human condition, the kingdom of God present among us. Every day of today is eternal if I know how to live in union with you. Please help me to welcome God into my life and unite with God in all my work. Please help me in every present moment to live fully for God so that I can truly live in the kingdom of heaven from today and until tomorrow. After all eternity. Amen. Lord, your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. I thank you for shining the light of your word into my soul, allowing me to hear your words and to abide in your word. May our lives be guided by your light and may all our actions be blessed and sustained by your grace. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
