"The Kingdom of God is like the clown car in a circus. An infinite number of people can fit in it."
-- Maura Stavovy
"The Kingdom of
God is like a beehive in the attic of an old house. It is hidden, yet if one becomes silent, one
can hear the buzzing presence. It is in
the world yet is not fully visible in the world. Its members, the bees, must return to the
hive for rest and refreshment, yet must also pollinate all the flowers. By doing this, they not only gain what is
necessary to produce honey but also help new flowers to grow. The flowers then produce fruit which feeds
the animals and the people. Without the
bees, the plants cannot produce fruit.
With the hidden presence of bees, all the peoples and animals of the
world are fed."

"The Kingdom of God is like the moon. It first reveals itself as hardly visible, and you can only perceive it as a sliver of light in the darkness of the night. Not long after that, it appears as a quarter moon on a clear night. Soon after that it becomes a half moon in radiant colors. It continues to grow and soon you can anticipate its fullness. Finally, the day comes when it appears in all its full splendor and glory illuminating the sky for all nations to see. The entire world can gaze upon it and receive its fullness of beauty and light."

In the fall of Year 2 in the Catholic Biblical School, students work on understanding the New Testament. Because imagination and creativity are required to step inside the biblical texts, occasionally we ask them to use their imaginations to become more fully the image of God our Creator.
