around in it, being so deeply grateful that I had finally found ˈhome.ˉ
I felt something similar at the half-day RCIA retreat on Easter Vigil two
years ago, the day I would be baptized. When we took turns speaking
that day, I said to the group how much I liked being at Holy Family
and that finally ˉI˅m homeˉ. Once a person finds that sort of security,
who wants to look elsewhere? You may see God on a mountaintop,
or go to the house of the Lord AKA Jerusalem, or have God˅s house
reflected to you in the person of Jesus, who is standing there in front
of you, listening to you tell him of being unworthy to have him enter
under your roof, and then having Jesus say to you in return, "Amen, I
say to you, in no one in Israel have I found such faith.ˉ
Once you get a taste God˅sˉ houseˉ, you want nothing but to glorify
Him, stay with Him, thank Him, and rest in peace.
Prayer
O Lord, how
lovely is
your dwell-
ing place
Amen
