Once Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, and he answered, “The kingdom of God is not coming with things that can be observed; nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There it is!’ For in fact, the kingdom of God is among you.”

My spiritual path has been inspired by two very unlikely people: the first being a man who wrote to me from prison and the second being a Vietnamese monk that I had the pleasure
of meeting. Although these men might appear to be polar opposites, they seemed to have lived similar lives, with similar experiences, and similar hardships. Thus, when they
spoke, their words were abounding with bewildering wisdom; and although only one of these men has earned society’s respect, I have come to respect both of them equally.

OPEN OUR MINDS TO MEET YOU AMONG US. AMEN.
