"She lived in solitude, and now in solitude has built her nest; and in solitude, He guides her... He alone, who also bears in solitude, the wound of love." St. John of The Cross
"I will now allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her." --Hosea 2:14

God's little dwelling place....
This morning I was praying the Liturgy of the Hours and read the following. It touched my heart so, I thought I would share it. It is taken from Ephesians 2:19-21.
"You are strangers and aliens no longer. No, you are fellow citizens of the saints and members of the household of God. You form a building which rises on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the capstone. Through him the whole structure is fitted together and takes shape as a holy temple in the Lord; in Him you are being built into this temple, to become a dwelling place for God in the Spirit."
Sometimes I forget that my own little soul is a temple for Jesus. I receive Him daily at communion, so I need to keep in mind ALWAYS to have a beautiful and tidy place for Him to rest. Heavenly Father, help me to keep the little sanctuary of my soul a place that the You long to be. Amen.
