The kingdom of God is the supreme good which we must seek above everything else. One seeks it with faith, with hope and with charity. The justice of this kingdom consists in doing everything that Christ has taught. To seek the kingdom of God means to put into practice this justice with deeds. Therefore to seek the kingdom of God means to make it our primary priority, above everything else. Everything should be done in the light of the kingdom of God and nothings sought outside of it. Our entire motivation must be centered on it.

–Sermon for the Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost

Let us pray...

O good Saint Anthony, Champion of the Missions, stir in my heart a great desire to be an instrument of peace and justice in the world, supporting the missionary work of the Church to build the kingdom of God on earth. Amen.
