Effects of divine encounter

No one can encounter the divine and remain the same. The transformative effect of every encounter with the divine has a direct effect on the person who is encountered. Moses met with God at the mountain and his radiant countenance, bears witness to the transformative glory of being in God's direct presence.

For the psalmist the encounter with God provides security, guidance and protection. (PS 98)
Jesus' parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price, reveal that the encounter with the kingdom of heave demands a complete reorientation of life's priorities. Divine encounters are reel everyday. All we need is:

1) To open our hearts to divine in our daily lives

2) To have constant moments of prayer, worship and praise the Lord and read the Scriptures.

3) To open our eyes of faith and our hearts of love so that we can encounter our fellow human beings as bearers of the divine image. The truth is that, each encounter, carries the potential for transformation.

Prayer: Father may the radiance of your love shine through our lives. May your loving presence transform us into agents of your grace and compassion in the church and in the world.

Immaculate heart of Mary, pray for us!
