From PSALM 139:
Lord, you have searched me, and you know me. You know my sitting down and my rising up...
If I take the wings of the morning and settle at the farthest limits of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me fast...

No matter what, no matter where, God is present. As Jacob learned, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven." In the ancient Latin phrase, "Vocatus atque non vocatus, Deus aderit": Bidden or unbidden, God will be present.

J'ai eu, il y a quelques jours, une vue qui m'a bien consolée. C'était pendant mon action de grâces que je fis quelques réflexions sur la bonté de Dieu... J'étais extrêmement touchée de ces réflexions, lorsque je vis écrit comme en lettres d'or ce mot Bonté, que je répétais depuis longtemps avec une indicible douceur. Je le vis, dis-je, écrit sur toutes les créatures animées et inanimées, raisonnables ou non, toutes portaient ce nom de bonté, je le voyais même sur la chaise qui me servait de prie-Dieu. Je compris alors que tout ce que ces créatures ont de bon et tous les services et les secours que nous recevons de chacune d'elles est un bienfait que nous devons à la bonté de notre Dieu, qui leur a communique quelque chose de sa bonté infinie, afin que nous la rencontrions en tout et partout.
- Sainte Thérèse Couderc, fondatrice des Religieuses du Cénacle, 10 août 1866

From a letter of Saint Therese Couderc, co-founder of the Cenacle Sisters:
A few days ago, I saw something that consoled me very much. It was during my thanksgiving, when I was making a few reflections on the goodness of God ... infinite goodness, uncreated goodness, source of all goodness! ... I was extremely touched by these reflections, when I saw written as in letters of gold this word "Goodness," which I repeated for a long while with an indescribable sweetness. I saw it, I say, written on all creatures, animate and inanimate, rational or not — all bore this name of goodness. I saw it even on the chair which I was using for a kneeler. I understood then that all that these creatures have of good and all the services and help that we receive from each of them are a kindness that we owe to the goodness of our God, who has communicated to them something of his infinite goodness, so that we may meet it in everything and everywhere.

He was
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth. We have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father. (John 1:1-4;14)
