Series on The Practice of the Presence of God (Part 3 of 4)
We can’t do anything more to earn God’s love, we have it already! We can be weak, we can be poor, and we can be sinners — and that’s okay. We can bring all that to the Lord and that’s where we start. Jesus doesn’t want us to give him the good things alone, but the bad things as well. What the Lord wants is for us to invite Him in that space for Him to be with us on that. What we need to do is to surrender every bit of who we are, surrender our desires to control and give it all to God.
This episode talks more about some great points in the practice of presence of God. An invitation to reflect back on who we are, understand or accept our weaknesses and sins. While at the same time, recognize who God is as we surrender everything to Him.
You can find the Presence of God challenge in the Hallow app or this link, where you can join in and reflect with Fr. Mark-Mary on The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence.

This Is My Beloved Son
Being a son means that you have a Father. The first and most important identity: son. This is the foundational identity that the Father gives us — everything else builds on this. We’re not talking about the Father as an idea or a concept. Because you can’t have…

God Is Looking for You
We have a God who’s always on the move, always pursuing. In our busyness, we’re distracted — we miss things. We miss people. But God is constantly seeking, constantly encountering what is broken, and seeing the wholeness. Christianity is different: it’s about God becoming Man and coming to us.
