What would heaven mean to me without You?" — St. BernardTwo things come to mind when I sit with those words.The first: how often do we forget that we are in the presence of God? That the Holy Trinity dwells in our souls — right now, in this moment?The second: that fact is true whether we're in good times or bad. To St. Bernard's point, hard times with Jesus are still a lot better than good times without Him. And of course, we don't have to choose — we have the opportunity to be with Him in all of it.We just have to remember.Let us pray. Lord, help us to remember that You are with us — in the good times and the bad, in the ordinary moments and the hard ones. Never let us forget that You are here. In Jesus' name. Amen.Keep fighting the good fight. Our Lady of Victory, pray for us. Get full access to The Victor's Crown at www.thevictorscrown.com/subscribe
