The prophet Isaiah speaks today of a vision of angels who stand in the presence of the Lord. They veil their faces and feet with wings (cf Is 6:1-2). The common belief has traditionally been that if mortals were to look upon the face of God, they would surely die. Even the angels have to veil their faces in His presence, yet Jesus came to live among us in order to show us God's willingness to be close to us.
We will not look upon God's glorious face until the day that we see Him in heaven, but even as we make our way through this life, we have the immense privilege to look upon him in the Eucharist, to touch him and to consume him so that he is present within us!
What a gift this is! What a privilege we have been given!
Have a great day.
