Found Jesus

Sept. 17, 2024

A while back, someone asked me Have you found Jesus? I said, Where did you last see Him? He stared at me with a blank look, clearly confused. The problem, of course, was that he could not answer that question. In fact, given that he had never been to a Catholic Mass and was not the recipient of a miraculous vision of Christ, he had never seen Jesus. I suppose, therefore, that his question was legitimate (in a way he did not understand), since to him Jesus is lost and he, himself, really does need to find Jesus. So, assuming you are Catholic (or at least working to become Catholic), let me ask the question: Have you found Jesus? If your answer is, Where did you last see Him? I can gladly say, In the tabernacle. What a truly mind-blowing grace we have been given to have the actual physical presence of our Savior, the Second Person of the Trinity, our Divine Lord, Jesus Christ in the tabernacle. Go be with Him as soon as you can.
