We are all, whether we realize it or not, living symbols of the presence of God in the world. By who we are and how we act we can either build up or tear down the kingdom of God. God has chosen to act through us humans, first through God’s son, Jesus Christ, and then through all the members of Christ’s Mystical Body. That God is alive and well is most evident in those who live through, with and in God. No greater compliment could be given a man or a woman than that someone should say, “I found God in you.”
