“My kingdom is not of this world”

His Kingdom is not of this world,
but is part of this world;
like the branch is part of the tree.
And when we speak of justice, peace,
forgiveness and love,
we speak of his Kingdom;
and when we live from his truth,
we are not far from the Kingdom of God.
(Donal Neary SJ)
