Gospel Reflection

/ Carmelite Spirituality, Gospel Reflection / By

Jesus said to the crowds:
“Amen, I say to you,
among those born of women
there has been none greater than John the Baptist;
yet the least in the Kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
From the days of John the Baptist until now,
the Kingdom of heaven suffers violence,
and the violent are taking it by force.
All the prophets and the law prophesied up to the time of John.
And if you are willing to accept it,
he is Elijah, the one who is to come.
Whoever has ears ought to hear.”

Matthew 11:11-15

Point for Reflection
John bravely announced the coming of the Kingdom, urging people to repent. How do you proclaim God’s Kingdom?
