Our Response

​

God, who wishes to dwell in us, can always be evicted by a single word of dismissal.  And so it is important to consider the way to respond to God's visitation -- which we cannot prevent but can cut short.  the first necessity of our cooperation with God is the consciousness that it is he who is present, the will to know him causes our recognition of his presence.  If we lack this readiness to know him, we are like those who smell and perceive no fragrance, taste and know no sweetness, touch and enjoy no ecstasy.

  

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed e to bring good news to the poor."

Luke 4:18
