(A Daily Reflection on Divine Mercy)
Where is God? It’s
easy to think of God being in Heaven or some far off place, looking down upon
us and guiding all of creation in accord with His holy Will. This is true, but it’s not the full
picture. God is perfectly “transcendent”
in that He is way beyond us and beyond the created world. But He is also perfectly “immanent” in that
He lives within us. When you pray, seek
Him especially within your own soul. Remember
that when you receive Holy Communion, God makes your soul a tabernacle. He enters in and remains within unless He is
excluded on account of sin. Seek His
divine presence within your soul and you will discover the intimacy of His
abundant Mercy (See Diary #1302).
Reflect upon the image of a tabernacle. Within that sacred dwelling the full glory of
God exists in veiled form. But He is
there, alive, radiant and glorious. Now
see your soul as this tabernacle. See
Him coming to you to make His dwelling within you. God desires to fully live within you, making
your heart the place of His gentle repose.
Spend time today seeking our Lord within. Talk to Him, listen to Him, and commune with
Him. Let your heart become alive and
radiant with His holy presence. For
within your heart is the presence of God.
Lord, I thank You for
coming to me and making my heart Your dwelling place. I thank You for Your perfect love and care
and I pray that I may discover Your divine presence in my life more fully each and
every day. I am Yours, dear Lord, make
my soul radiant with Your eternal glory.
Jesus, I trust in You.
