Why are religious people so busy and active in trying to find God or make God present? God is everywhere. Nirvana, the Kingdom, is in our midst, not far away. We searchers might be far away but the kingdom is not. Some build and finance beautiful worship spaces and I do enjoy such places but I must beware that my God is not bound by the walls of these physical places. The buildings don’t make God especially present any more than does a mountain top or Fall trees. But we feel the presence more in some spaces and places because of their physicality. But maybe God is hiding in places and situations where we least expect. The struggle is not so much between belief and non-belief as it is in awareness and cluelessness.
The homilies and musings of a Paulist Priest.

I sincerely hope your mission thrives. The Church these days seems overly intent on preaching politics and battering its members with ultimatums and threats instead of focusing on the messages of love, forgiveness and daily sacrifice that convert followers from the inside out and are therefore more effective in the long run!
