There are four types of men in this world: 1. the man who knows, and knows that he knows; he is wise, so consult him. 2. the man who knows, but doesn't know that he knows; help him not forget what he knows. 3. the man who knows not, and knows that he knows not; teach him. 4. finally, there is the man who knows not but pretends that he knows; he is a fool, so avoid him.

A god who draws near out of love, the holy father continued, walks with his people, and this walk comes to an unimaginable point. we could never have imagined that the same lord would become one of us and walk with us, be present with us, present in his church, present in the eucharist, present in his word, present in the poor, he is present, walking with us. and this is closeness: the shepherd close to his flock, close to his sheep, whom he knows, one by one.

Seek first the kingdom of wealth and you'll worry over every dollar. seek first the kingdom of health and you'll sweat every blemish and bump. seek first the kingdom of popularity, and you'll relive every conflict. seek first the kingdom of safety, and you'll jump at every crack of the twig. but seek first his kingdom and you will find it. on that, we can depend and never worry.

God is the highest good of the reasonable creature. the enjoyment of him is our proper; and is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied. to go to heaven, fully to enjoy god, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here. better than fathers and mothers, husbands, wives, or children, or the company of any, or all earthly friends. these are but shadows; but the enjoyment of god is the substance. these are but scattered beams; but god is the sun. these are but streams; but god is the fountain. these are but drops, but god is the ocean.

The kingdom of god is available to you in the here and the now. but the question is whether you are available to the kingdom. our practice is to make ourselves ready for the kingdom so that it can manifest in the here and the now. you don't need to die in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. in fact, you have to be truly alive in order to do so.
