Charles+ Yes, and we also meet that "Someone" in various ways when our lives are open to receiving him. It's always a blessing to see someone come to a deeper understanding of the sacramental nature of the Christian life itself. We must incarnate Christ to the world. By the way, the Ephrem in the post was Emphrem of Syria of 4th century fame; but I'd bet Ephrem Radner would know what we're talking about. :) MLW+ After a few weeks, one of the people described how just kneeling in prayer had helped his spiritual life. Now he is looking forward to Confirmation and Holy Communion, expecting to meet Someone there. Charles+ Church of the Good Shepherd, Indianapolis
