Series on The Practice of the Presence of God (Part 1 of 4)
With the abundance of noise in our world, there can be a lot of interruptions to our ongoing conversation and relationship with the God. The habitual, silent and secret conversation we all dream to have with God, all seems to be very difficult to achieve. There’s going to be a cost, sacrifice and perseverance.
We need to drive away from our minds everything that is capable of interrupting our thought of God. It doesn’t overnight nor does it happen easily. Like any dream that we have, we do need to put some work into it in order to make it happen.

We long to teach people how to pray, contemplative silence, inner recollection, and interior stillness are ways to live in a relationship with God.

Peace Not Panic
We have this tendency that we want to fix or clean-up certain things first before we let the Lord in. We are afraid that our place, our lives are messy—that it can be too much for anyone even for God to handle. But God is NOT panicking, he’s completely in control. He’s not afraid or scandalized of how messy our lives are…

Ordinary But Extraordinary
It is easy to fall into the temptation and believe that we can’t do it, that we can’t live a holy life. Although the ordinary life is simple, hidden, and seems kind of normal, there’s so much sanctity in our vocations that are being lived faithfully. It might not be flashy or spectacular but it’s one of the most real ways we can grow in holiness. We may not be in the chapel or church making a eucharistic holy hour, but no matter what our day-to-day experiences look like or what daily lives we are accustomed to, God is there.
