God's in the tabernacle, all's right with the world -- If you want it to be

Taking seriously my Catholic belief in the Real Presence in the tabernacle, I took to imagining Jesus up there in person, as approachable as can be, a presence that calms one down as it dominates. If church officials worry about the lack of belief in this Presence of Jesus, they might encourage this imagining of Jesus as present.

So give peace of soul a chance. Not just in church but everywere you go, where sunshine will or might follow you, like in the song. He's in charge. Relax.

What a friend we have there. Approachable? Absolutely. And caring. Gave up his life for us, right? Lesson there. If He did that, and He did, we ought take Him up on it. How dumb can someone be who ignores that? No thanks. I'm for going into church to take Him up on it.

Not for any old slap-on-back, hiya Charlie, pull-up-a-stool way. But careful to keep in mind who He is. He's royalty, for one thing, king of the world. A grand man, and God. one of a holy Trio who made the world, keeps it going, rules it. Not a dictator, lording it over mindless, helpless subjects. No, He made people who can think. And do the right thing.

He's also gonna judge the living and the dead. which is what makes our friendship with Him unlike any other. We have friends in high places. We should stay in touch.
