The Immaculate Heart of Mary Occasionally we lose our sense of Jesus’ presence. When we pray, we may feel as if we were talking to thin air. Or in the midst of some difficulty we may wonder “Where has God gone?” Perhaps we’ve lost our sense of the Lord because of our busyness, our indifference, or a pattern of sin. Or maybe God is “absenting” himself to increase our hunger for him. “If our Lord withdraws himself from the sight of a soul that loves him,” explained St. Alphonsus Liguori, “he does not, therefore depart from the heart. He often conceals himself from a soul, that it may seek him with a more ardent desire and greater love.” So seek Jesus with longing and perseverance. Don’t give up until you find him – and eagerly seek him every day of your life! Today’s readings: Tobit 12:1, 5-15, 20 (Psalm) Tobit 13:2, 6-8 Luke 2:41-51
