He is Present Here

(St. Claude de la Colombiere - found here)

“God is in the midst of us, or rather we are in the midst of Him. Wherever we are, He sees us and touches us: at prayer, at work, at table, at recreation. We do not think of this! If we did, with what fervor and devotion would we live! Let us often make acts of faith, saying to ourselves: God is looking at me; He is present here.”

“I have promised with God’s grace not to begin any action without remembering that He is a witness to it — that He performs it together with me and gives me the means to do it: never to conclude any action without the same thought, offering it to Him as belonging to Him, and in the course of the action, whenever the same thought shall occur, stop for a moment and renew the desire to please Him.”

~St. Claude de la Colombiere
