For your immortal spirit is in all things. Therefore you correct little by little those who trespass, and you remind and warn them of the things through which they sin, so that they may … put their trust in you, O Lord.

—Wisdom 12:1–2 (NRSV)

“You will probably laugh at me and say how obvious such things are. But, until I closed my eyes to the vanities of this world, I did not see or understand who lived within my soul or what my soul deserved. If I had understood then, as I now do, how this great King lives within this palace of my soul, I would not have left Him alone so much. I would have stayed with Him and not let His house get so dirty. It is wonderful that He whose greatness could fill a thousand worlds should confine Himself to so small a space, just as He was pleased to inhabit His most holy Mother’s womb. As our Lord, He has perfect freedom, and because He loves us, He fashions Himself to our measure.” —St. Teresa of Avila

I will not neglect You, today, Lord. Help me be mindful of Your presence in my life.
