In the kind of society that is the Kingdom, we do not need the security of aninheritance or a lottery win. Our security comes from being part of a lovingcommunity, caring for each others needs.To follow Christ’s way, is to strip away our old behaviour and old self and put on a newself, sharing the vision, values and goals of Jesus. It is a progress towards trueknowledge, deep insight and understanding. “You must look for the things that are inheaven, where Christ is… Let your thought be on heavenly things, not on the thingsthat are on the earth…” said Paul.Where then should we look for Christ who is everything and in everything? BishopSheen through a TV screen showed that we are sure to find Him in four places; inprayer, in the scriptures, in the sacraments, and in the poor.
