They reach to the priest residence nearby, where they saw the priest in morning prayers in the preparation for the Mass.They hear the chants of monks rising from the far mountainous residences and the sweet melodies of religious men and women rising above the convents and cloisters reaching to the heavens.

Saints have shown the model of life which has been illuminated with God's presence. Living in God's presence means that a human subjects himself voluntarily to the will of God, while he lives in this earth. One who lives with the strength derived from the presence of the Lord gives glory to God in all his achievements, and consider, acknowledge, pray, and surrender his own weaknesses to God as an opportunity for demonstration of God's mercy and strength in his life. In this state of mind or attitude, glory and defeat in the life have the same value for the saints because both brings forth God's glory. Living in God's presence is an extension of church experience in to the day today life situations.

Many of us have our family photos in our office, which provides an extended family presence from home to off...
