God lives within us all. It is we, cursed as we are by human nature, that obscures God's manifestation from within. I was struck by this thought one Sunday morning while attending Mass. It occurred to me that the majority of those in attendance were there either out of obligation, or in a search for God. Almost in the same thought, it was revealed to me that there were a few in attendance that brought God with them to Mass to celebrate His existence within themselves.
