Finding God's Presence

I know this blog is called "In the Presence of God," and I wanted us to explore how we can find God's Presence among us.  Personally, I like to place myself in His Presence by listening to Christian music or seeking Him in creation.  Here's some examples through pictures that I took of seeking God's Presence among us.  And in them, we can take in the beauty God has created and thank Him for them.

The Easter Mystery

Happy Easter Again!
I know it's been a week since the celebration of Easter, but remember that this mystery is lived out for an entire liturgical season!  Alleluia!
Yesterday (Sunday), we rejoiced in Divine Mercy.  We must have confidence in His great mercy!
How will you continue to live out this Easter Celebration?
God be Praised!

Jesus, I trust in You!

Beauty of God's Creation

Wednesday of Holy Week

Bask in the sun.  Feel the rays come upon you.
Created things can be the stuff that God uses to speak to us.
It is a nice, breezy day at the lake. 
Look beyond to the forest at the opposite side.  See the snow peeking out from them in the distant hills. 
The sound of the contuous waves washing onshore give a continuity in rhythm. 
The sun peers out from more passing clouds, earning my hands. 
It is a fine getaway that I can always return to by this entry.

Taking Time for Holy Week

During this Holy Week, let us refresh our commitments from Ash Wednesday.  Whether we are off on spring break or busy as always in our work life, let us recognize Christ's Presence in our lives.
Let us stand at the Foot of the Cross with John, Our Lady, and Mary Magdalene, consoling the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Who is dying for love of us!
How He loves us!  Let us strive to contemplate this love!

The Truth in God

I found today's gospel very meaningful, in many ways.
For example, when Jesus says, "But the one who sent me is true, and what I heard from him I tell the world." (bold is mine)
And later on Pontius Pilate asks Him, "What is truth?"
Do we know God as the Way, the truth, and the life?  Will we ever be able to contemplate God in all His fullness, love, and mercy?
