Father's house
Psalm 100
Sing to the Lord, all the world!
Worship the Lord with Joy; come before him with happy songs!
Acknowledge that the Lord is God. He made us, and we belong to him;
We are his people we are his flock.
Enter the temple gates with thanksgiving,
Go in to its courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise him.
The Lord is good; his love is eternal and his faithfulness lasts forever.
Although God is present everywhere, Seeking God’s presence in His temple brings unique blessings. The above psalm describes how to enter into his temple and courts. It indicates that one must worship God with joy and with happy songs. It is appropriate and fitting to see the Heavenly father in His temple. In His temple, there is joy, happiness, and praises, which can quench the thirst of human heart, mind and soul. Some times one can experience physical healing also in His presence.
Consider going to church as going to the father’s house because our Heavenly father’s presence is visible in the church and in believers.
Every year I used to spend at least few days with my father and mother who lives very far from my city. It is a common experience that my father gets very excited of my every visit and he makes my visit as a family function. He always celebrates my visit by inviting all my brothers and sisters home and make it as a special family event. This is a common experience for all those who have experienced father’s love.
In the same way, Heavenly father loves presence waits for us all the day and night.
He treats us with a special care when we keep ourselves in His presence at His sanctuary. His mercy surrounds us with a divine peace and joy. He never send us home with empty handed, but always bless us according to His will.

The first and foremost thing to look forward in a mass is the Blessed Holy communion. It is the manifestation of Jesus in Flesh and Blood. Receiving the Blessed Sacrament, first thing in the day, gives complete satisfaction and it dawns freshness, even if there is lack of sleep and peace. A person, who surrenders himself/herself to the hands of Our Father, experiences complete security. A person who puts his total trust in Our Father can achieve anything and everything in this world .
The Temple of Our Lord is the only place a human can disclose the darkest part of his/her life to get redeemed and blessed. A person can hold his/her head high in this materialistic world and walk. Our Father knows His children's needs and wishes.
Athan,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. Yes, Holy communion is the most beautiful gift given by God, so that we human can experience His presence in our day today life. Jesus Christ God in human nature understood the need for father's presence in the world unto the end of the world. He understood human weaknesses and sufferings that needed continuous guidance from His presence, so he established the Eucharist and the Holy priesthood in the last supper.
