Encountering God:
The place to encounter God is not only in the awesome events of nature, but also in the quiet word of the Lord’s love, in the Lord’s quiet acceptance of our commitment of faith.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He loves, He hopes, He waits. If He came down on our altars on certain days only, some sinner, on being moved to repentance, might have to look for Him, and not finding Him, might have to wait. Our Lord prefers to wait Himself for the sinner for years rather than keep him waiting one instant.
- Saint Peter Julian Eymard (1811-1868)
