Blessed is the Kingdom

Seeking The Kingdom In All Things

The Kingdom of God is Within You


Enter eagerly into the treasure-house that lies within you, and so you will see the treasure-house of heaven: for the two are the same, and there is but one single entry to them both. The ladder that leads to the Kingdom is hidden within you, and is found in your own soul. Dive into yourself and in your soul you will discover the rungs by which to ascend.

–St. Isaac the Syrian

    No matter how many times I return to this icon, there is always more to see and learn. Since I first saw it at St. Catherine’s Monastery, it continues to captivate.

    A powerful image and a beautiful quotation. Thank you. Just this week I received St. Isaac’s book, On the Ascetical Life. I find resonance with the writings of the Syriac Fathers.

    Peace, Mike+
