So Far but So Close

 

This week I had the beautiful opportunity of attending an event here in the Archdiocese of Toronto which was hosted by the Sisters for Life at St. Peter’s Church, called “The Source” which is basically Holy Hour, but with a social afterwards.

I was seated near the middle of the Church when I heard the sisters announce that there would be confessions in the back of the church. So I decided to prepare myself to go to confessions and when I was ready, I got up and made my way to the back of the church. When the sister directed me where to sit for the line of confession, I realized something that was actually shocking. Jesus and the monstrance was the same size. With some basic physics, it was impossible, both were supposed to be smaller. Why was this? What was God trying to tell me? Then it dawned on me…

No matter how far you are, or how close you are to the Lord, where the Lord stands, that doesn’t change. God is always going to be there it’s just a matter of us to see Him and how close He really is in our lives. He is knocking at the door of our hearts, but only we can let Him in.
