My point is this: God meets us at our lowest points. He does not abandon us. He is not with us just in the good moments. He is with us when we feel broken. He is with us when we feel hopeless. Sometimes our “worst” moments are the best times to encounter God in our lives. The important thing is to be aware. You must be aware and constantly looking for how God is working in your life. He is not just in the miracles. He is not just in the grand moments of life. He is with you always.

What’s Your Cross?
What is your cross? What is God asking you to take up to follow Him? What is God asking you to leave behind in order to follow Him? What things stand in the way of you having a more intimate relationship with Jesus Christ?
Liturgy of the Hours
Liturgy of the Hours, or the Divine Office, is the “daily prayer of the Church marking the hours of each day and sanctifying the day with prayer” (USCCB). The Hours are a contemplative dialogue on the “mystery of Christ, using scripture and prayer” (USCCB). The two most important Hours are Morning and Evening Prayer because they include a Gospel canticle: Morning Prayer (Benedictus) and Evening Prayer (Magnificat).
Sola Scriptura
As you can see nowhere in these verses does the Bible say that Scripture alone is sufficient. It does say that Scripture is important and must be acknowledged which Catholics believe. Armstrong says it best: “The Church and Scripture are both equally necessary and important for teaching” (Catholic Answers).
