Christ’s Presence Among Us

Throughout the Old Testament God makes known his intention of having an ongoing presence among men. The tent of meeting was the first temple to God in the desert. Upon the tent there came to rest a cloud which symbolized the glory of God and his presence Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. The cloud was a sign of the divine presence.

Much later, the Temple of Jerusalem was the place where the Israelites worshipped God. It was the place they had been longing for while they were in the desert.

In the fullness of time, the Word became flesh. In the moment of the Incarnation the power of the Most High overshadowed Our Lady. This is an expression of the omnipotence of God. Following upon the Incarnation, the Virgin became the Tabernacle of God. The Word of God dwelt among us.

When the priest consecrates the host during Holy Mass, he brings Christ to the altar with his Holy Humanity.

Let us adore our Lord during Advent and always as He waits for us in the tabernacle and during Adoration when He is placed in the Monstrance.
