To live in His presence

“Come, let us return to the LORD, it is he who has rent, but he will heal us; he has struck us, but he will bind our wounds. He will revive us after two days; on the third day he will raise us up, to live in his presence.” (HOS 6: 1-2) 

“Come, let us return to the Lord” with all our wounds, with our scars, our rejection and low self-esteem. He is so patient, so gentle and protective. When we fail and when we fall, when we forget or don’t pay attention, when we are below our standards and everything is difficult–He is always there for us. We need “to live in His presence.” 
 
“If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.” (Gospel Acclamation)
