We are the Home

We the Lumber, the floors, the ceilings, the electrical, the plumbing

The doors, the windows, the closets,  the rooms, the memories

Home is where the heart is.

Home is where God appoints a place for my people
Home is the place to bring the threads, the saga, the peace  and the stability

To build a home or a house for God is something have done then and now. What if God builds a house for us as before, so today, right now.

 God  is uncontainable, God’s presence over flows from the temple.

God is  prevenient grace. The grace that is present right now.

We hear that has and  will plant the people and be with the people

In the torn pages of history God meets the eye of the people, in Babylonian Captivity. Then, there was no rest, no house, no sovereign, there was lament. There was God.

There was God in the letter to the Roman’s. God strengthen them and us. When we start and end with God. There is benediction and revelation when mystery, kerygma, paranesis proclaim who is God!  God is action, doing, God is a verb—“Thy will be done, now!”

Gabriel came then and now. Mary, annunciation, incarnatin, perplexed, afraid, submission, blessed, called, God bearer

Gabriel came then and now, do not be afraid, you have found favour with God,

Now is the time for holy inbreaking, messenger, bright column of  light, nothing will be impossible.

God chooses Mary, God choose us.

God  chooses magificat, reign of justice

The bold YES, here I am

Here we. Go where I send thee
