  Word of God  
 
It is the Lord!

John 21:7
 


There is not a moment in which God
does not present Himself under the cover
of some pain, some consolation, or some duty.
All that takes place within us, around us, or through us,
contains and conceals God's divine action.

 
'Abandonment to Divine Providence'; J P de Caussade, 18th century

 
 
  Word of God  
 
Lord, where can I flee from your presence?
If I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
Psalm 139:7-10
 


God is beyond location becuase he is not contained;
always before the ages, because time comes before him.
God is present everywhere, and everywhere he is totally present.

 
St. Hilary of Poitiers, 4th century
