God is within us. If we look outside of ourselves, we will not find Him.

We must look within.

God is within us. If we look outside of ourselves, we will not find Him.

So, uh, how did the god that is within you get out to create the universe? Just asking!

God is within us?????

Not always. Many have thrown God out of their lives — living only for the present and not for eternal life.

God is within us?????

When we sin, God waits for us to confess our sins and come back to us so that he can forgive us. Have you ever heard or read the words of absolution spoken by the priest?

1449 The formula of absolution used in the Latin Church expresses the essential elements of this sacrament: the Father of mercies is the source of all forgiveness. He effects the reconciliation of sinners through the Passover of his Son and the gift of his Spirit, through the prayer and ministry of the Church:

God, the Father of mercies,
through the death and the resurrection of his Son
has reconciled the world to himself
and sent the Holy Spirit among us
for the forgiveness of sins;
through the ministry of the Church
may God give you pardon and peace,
and I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
