Kingdom of God

God

 

What is the Kingdom of God?

 

The proclamation of Jesus is: the Kingdom of God. But the Kingdom of God is not a thing, a social or political structure, and a utopia. The Kingdom of God is God. Kingdom of God means: God exists. God is alive. God is present and acts in the world, in our life.

 

God is not a faraway “ultimate cause,” God is not the “great architect” of deism, who created the machine of the world and is no longer part of it. On the contrary: God is the most present and decisive reality in each and every act of our life, in each and every moment of history.

 

Here too we must keep the practical aspect in mind. God cannot be made known with words alone. One does not really know a person if one knows about this person secondhandedly. To proclaim God is to introduce the relation with God: to teach how to pray. Prayer is faith in action. And only by experiencing life with God does the evidence of his existence appear.

Our Vision for the Future

Retreat house and hospice

 

Currently, Totus Tuus operates a retreat house, church and children’s hospice in Bogotá, Colombia. With the help of generous and faithful donors, a new hospice is currently under construction that will expand the number of beds available so Totus Tuus can help 70 to 100 children per year. Additionally, a chapel and underground burial chamber are being built.

 

 

Totus Tuus’s vision is to expand our programs to other Latin American countries, the United States and other countries around the world to reach children who are terminally ill and have been abandoned. To spread this vision and build more civilizations of love around the world, we need your help.

Our Founding Principles

The Secular Association Totus Tuus and its members are faithful to the Catholic Church and loyal to the teaching of the Magisterium. Thus, we know the importance of being part of Christ’s mystical body. Jesus gives all his members, laity included (cf. LG 34), the capacity of offering through their lives that worship which he himself called “worshipping the Father in Spirit and truth.” (Jn 4:23)

 

According to the second Vatican Council, in this transcendent priestly reality of Christ’s mystery, the laity is called to offer their whole lives as a spiritual sacrifice, thus cooperating with the entire Church in the Redeemer’s continual consecration of the world. This is the laity’s great mission:

 

“For all their works, prayers and apostolic endeavors, their ordinary married and family life, their daily occupations, their physical and mental relaxation, if carried out in the Spirit, and even the hardships of life, if patiently borne—all these become ‘spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.’ Together with the offering of the Lord’s body, they are most fittingly offered in the celebration of the Eucharist. Thus, as those everywhere who adore in holy activity, the laity consecrates the world itself to God.” (cf. LG 34; CCC 901)
