“Jesus is closer than you think, sometimes you just have to look a little harder.”

I take enormous pleasure in watching the young seminarians carry out their daily activities. Whether they are playing soccer, studying, praying in front of the Blessed Sacrament in adoration, or cleaning the pots and pans after dinner. As I get older I think I can appreciate this video more. Yes, Jesus is so close to us and takes delight in our joys, and cries when we cry.
