Today we honor the life and memory of St. Vincent de Paul.
Here are a few words from him,
"always begin your prayers with an act of the presence of God...Just consider that although we do not yet see God, faith teaches us that his holy presence is everywhere...penetrating all things and even our hearts to their very depths. Though our eyes may deceive us, but the truth that God is in all places will never deceive."
Practice the presence of God throughout the day. Recall this reality to mind often and be consoled and strengthen as the psalm tells us "God is with us.".
Be at peace in his embrace which comes to us by the warmth of the sun, the cool of the breeze, the shadows that fall, in the birds that sing, in the child at play, in the grown ups complaint. In all things God is near and he is present to us, let us be present to Him.
