Dearest Goddaughter (LTR-15)

Dearest Goddaughter,

In today's first reading from the Book of Exodus, we read how Moses built the Dwelling of the Lord with great care to follow the Lord's commands exactly. We also see the obedience that the children of Israel had for God. They would not set out on their journey unless the cloud is lifted from the Dwelling.

More importantly, I think , we see God's love presence in their lives day and night. His presence among them can be seen during the daytime but the cloud and at night by the first seen in the cloud. For us, we see God in His Creation all around us. Most of all, though, we see our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Real Presence in the Eucharist.

Jesus dwells in our hearts but he is also physically present among us in all the tabernacles of the world, including the one in our own parish and adoration chapel. Let us go and be in the presence of the Lord in Adoration and receive Him at Mass.

Therefore, dearest goddaughter, God is always with you. His Presence in your life is real and you can feel Him close to you because He dwells in your heart. Turn to Him and know that you are so loved by your Father in heaven.

Love,

Bỏ Phúc

P.S. These are the readings for the day: Ex 40:16-21, 34-38 and Mt 13:47-53.
