Experiencing God

St. Vincent de Paul told the Daughters of Charity that each time they went out to take care of the poor they would find God. Thus, they experience God's presence in those they serve, as well as during their deep moments of individual and common prayer together.

God touches lives in so many ways-in the smile of a child, in the eyes of someone who is ill, in the courage of one who has hope in spite of a devastating situation, in the heart of a parent who cannot provide for her children, and in the face of violence that has been turned into peace.

There is no limit to the ways we experience God's love in our lives. This constant presence is a source of strength and peace, as we strive to bring the Gospel message of love and freedom to a world torn by violence and hatred.

How have you experienced God's presence in your life today?
