1 - READ THE WORD
A Space Covenanted with the Lord
When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.
Genesis 28:16-17

2 - Reflect
This weekend found me working when all I wanted was to rest and spend time with my family. In fact, I spent the whole weekend with my family, working on the temple that needed some repairs. It was really beautiful to see the whole community involved in fixing up the temple, the same temple that sees us week after week attending the celebration that unites us to Christ.
That weekend left me thinking a lot about the temple itself; how we should fix it up and pay attention to it, since it is there where we leave all our obligations and dedicate some time only to God.
In the same way many can say that when they are alone they also feel connected to God on another level, and that is why it is important to also consider ourselves as temples of God, and in the same way it is our duty to keep ourselves clean and tidy, giving ourselves special care for that place where we will meet God.
Then we will feel comfortable inviting our Father to enter the temple, in our hearts, so that He can see His own work in us, His children.
