HIS TRUE PRESENCE
“The coming of the kingdom of God cannot be observed... the kingdom of God is among you.” – Luke 17:20-21
In the early days of my conversion, I was always invited by different
religious sects to attend their Bible studies and prayer meetings. They
quoted passages in the Bible just to convince me to leave my religion
and join theirs.
There were life-changing testimonies from former Catholics who
converted when they felt Jesus was more “present” in that specific
religious denomination. But every time I asked them about Mary as the
Mother of God and the Holy Eucharist as the true presence of Christ,
they couldn’t give me concrete answers.
Finally, after so many groups had tried to convince me about their
“true” religion, it was God Himself who manifested His presence to me. I
attended daily Mass during my lunch breaks and the first of those daily
Masses happened on December 8, the feast of the Immaculate Conception.
What further proof did I need to show the people on the real presence of
God?
From then on, my life changed. To this day, I continue to receive Jesus
daily in the Holy Eucharist, where God’s presence is truly magnified. Monty Mendigoria (montymendigoria@yahoo.com)
Reflection:
Beware and never let your guards down. There will be voices of
deception to make us believe that they were sent to bring salvation. Let
Jesus reveal Himself and let Him manifest in your life.
My
Lord, let Your almighty power come like a flash of lightning and let
the world see Your greatness in every corner of the Earth.
St. Josaphat, bishop and martyr, pray for us.
