Bishop Tobin on the Kingdom of God - Already in Our Midst, but Under Construction

"Driving around town these days can be a really frustrating experience. So many roads are under construction, and detours, closed ramps, merging lanes, concrete barricades and orange barrels are everywhere. While the work certainly has to be done, and we applaud those who are doing it, the driving experience is challenging nonetheless.

"But here's a thought: Through the eyes of faith the construction work has spiritual value to it, for the incomplete road work is an apt analogy for the Kingdom of God."

In a recent commentary, Bishop Thomas J. Tobin, of the Diocese of Providence (RI), reflected on how the Kingdom of God, already in our midst, is still under construction.
