Can't get home without Him....

You never can know how God is going to come to you. It’s so hard to plan ahead and be ready. You can be expecting to spend time in front of the Blessed Sacrament reading about the Sacrament of Reconciliation, but end up focusing on Mary. Then again, Mary is the way to Christ, which is the goal of the Sacraments (ordering us to Christ).

God works in mysterious ways, and that, I believe, is what keeps us close to him. It is the uncertainty that captivates us and makes us want to let him in even more. It is the unending love that makes us open our hearts to him.

God is around us all day, every day. We just have to open our hearts and our eyes. If we don’t take the time to sit and be with him, how can we know him in the hurriedness of our daily life? Prayer is so important, whether it is communal or private. Just taking that time to sit and be with the Lord. You don’t have to talk.

But the scary thing is, the more you do it, the less you can live without it. Then you see those who don’t take the time and appear to be happy. You ask yourself how they do it simply because you have become so captivated by his love that you forget how you didn’t even realize how lost you were before he captivated you. We need God more than we think. We need him in the deepest parts of our souls. We need him in all of our moments of life. But this need is reciprocal—he needs us as much as we need him.
