Taste and See: God present

 

God is in his holy place,
God who unites those who dwell in his house;
he himself gives might and strength to his people.

Cf. Ps 67: 6-7, 36
Entrance Antiphon for the 17th Sunday of Ordinary Time

There are many so-called ‘thin places’ places that seem to be especially close to heaven, and to God. Some find theirs in the countryside, some in the town; some in places away from others and some when they gather with others.

But in truth there is no place where God is not, and no place where God does not open himself to his people…

• Where do you feel closest to God? Why?
• Where do you seem furthest from God? Why? How might your presence there place focus God’s presence and love for others.
