“For myself, I know of no better way of establishing the kingdom of God, Eternal Wisdom, than to unite vocal and mental prayer by saying the holy Rosary and meditating on its fifteen mysteries.”

                        ~St. Louis De Montfort

For Reflection:

Why is the Rosary such a useful prayer in establishing the kingdom of God within the soul? How have I seen this to be so in my own life? What can I do to make progress in my daily meditation of the mysteries?

New Testament  Background  page 18

The Kingdom:  ...We saw in the Old Testament that the nation of Israel was God's kingdom on earth.  But in the New Testament, Jesus said that His kingdom is not of this world (John 18:33-38).  Jesus' kingdom is of heaven and He came to establish His kingdom here on earth and expand God's kingdom to all the nations of the earth, not just the nation of Israel (Rev 7:9). Jesus began His public ministry by proclaiming that "the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand" (Matt 4:17).
