His Presence

The Lord reveals himself and makes his presence known to us in many ways. 


the cross

Only faith will unlock its mystery and bring us to the encounter between our sin and God’s mercy. Sin is at the heart of the worst that can go wrong with our life; the sign of the Crucified One is its cure. 


in his word

(the good news he came to give us) 

Jesus is the only begotten Son of God who came from the Father in heaven to set us free from the power of sin, Satan, and death. His death on the cross atones for all of our sins and opens for us the floodgates of God's merciful love and healing forgiveness. He alone can set us free from guilt, condemnation, pride, and fear. He alone can give us abundant life, peace, and joy through the gift of the Holy Spirit. 


in the breaking of the bread

in the Eucharist (he is the Bread of Life), Christ humbles himself to stay with us at all costs. Under the appearance of bread and wine, he reveals he wants to be food for our souls


in his church - the Body of Christ, and in his creation (he is the Word who created all things). 


And even in the daily circumstances of our lives the Lord Jesus continues to speak to us and guide us. If we seek the Lord Jesus, we will surely find him.
