What faith is there that is so intimate, so accessible, that reaches to the very core of our desires, other than Christianity? God dwells in Heaven; but God became man so that man could dwell in Heaven and God could dwell in man. This is insanely wonderful! This is why I always say to my brothers and sisters who are hurting and feel God has abandoned them: where can God go? He is everywhere. Furthermore, <em>He is in you<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><!--more-->Other religions center their worship toward a god who is &#8220;out there&#8221;, a god who is &#8220;up there&#8221;, a god who is &#8220;over there.&#8221; But the baptized Christian says, I worship a God who is <em>within. <\/em>This is not the mistaken error of New Agers who speak of &#8220;the christ&#8221; within, as though they themselves are the divine and merely progressing to a higher consciousness. No! Christians say <em>&#8220;we hold this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassing power may be of God and not from us.&#8221;<\/em> <span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_13695_1('footnote_plugin_reference_13695_1_1');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_13695_1('footnote_plugin_reference_13695_1_1');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_13695_1_1\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">[1]<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_13695_1_1\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\">cf. 2 Cor 4:7<\/span><\/span><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_13695_1_1').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_13695_1_1', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top right', relative: true, offset: [10, 10], });<\/script> This treasure we hold is the glory of God, and God himself. We see it prefigured in today&#8217;s first reading:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono; font-size: small;\">When the priests left the holy place, the cloud filled the temple of the LORD&#8230; the LORD\u2019s glory had filled the temple of the LORD.

(1 Cor 6:19)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">The &#8220;darkness&#8221; of the cloud is symbolic of our human nature, our darkened reason and frailty of the will. <span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_13695_1('footnote_plugin_reference_13695_1_2');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_13695_1('footnote_plugin_reference_13695_1_2');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_13695_1_2\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">[2]<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_13695_1_2\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\">cf.

(2 Cor 12:9)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">This is the love story of today&#8217;s Gospel: God comes to lift us out of our weakness, brokenness, and pain. Even though Jesus and the Apostles are running on fumes, Jesus continually comes to the people who come to Him. They&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono; font-size: small;\">&#8230;begged him that they might touch only the tassel on his cloak; and as many as touched it were healed.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">Who is as great as our God? Who is as loving and merciful as Jesus? This is the very heart of the Good News: God loves us so much that He has come to us, just like us, to be in us. We can touch his tassel&#8230; we can touch<em> Him. <\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">My eight-year-old son approached me the other day, his face serious and a question on his lips. &#8220;Dad, if Jesus is good, and all He wants to do is love us, why don&#8217;t people want that?&#8221; I looked at him and said, &#8220;Well, because Jesus loves people so much, He calls them out of the sin that is hurting them. But some people love their sin more than they want to love God.&#8221; He looked at me processing what I said. But it made no sense to him. &#8220;But dad, if Jesus only wants to make people happy, why wouldn&#8217;t they want that?&#8221; Yes, I could see that an eight year old perceived what philosophers, scientists, and intellects of our day cannot. I am reminded of the grandson of Thomas Huxley, who was Charles Darwin\u2019s colleague, who said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: small;\">I suppose the reason we leaped at the origin of species was because the idea of God interfered with our sexual mores. <\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: small;\">\u2014<em>Whistleblower<\/em>, February 2010, Volume 19, No. 2, p. 40. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono; font-size: small;\">While claiming to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness of an image of mortal man&#8230; Therefore, God handed them over to impurity through the lusts of their hearts for the mutual degradation of their bodies&#8230; (Rom 1:22-24)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">And what a terrible exchange it is!
