What is the Kingdom of God?




This hymn truly spoke to me tonight during prayers around the cross with the Taize' Community:

The kingdom of God is justice and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Come, Lord, and open in us the gates of your kingdom.

In reality the kingdom is really simple and yet profound. I wish more Christians could grasp this concept.

  1. Your picture of the waiting prayer stools is very poignant.
    When I was last at Taize, Frere Roger was sitting on one of them. May he rest in peace.

    Thank you for sharing your pilgrimage.
    Blessings from Jerusalem.
