When we consider the difference between a house and a home, we must remember that it is not just a place where we unpack our stuff. We are called to see that our place reveals something of our personality and priorities. It helps us discover our identity and who we are called to become. This is where we can notice what brings us life and blessing.
In the scriptures, we read how God makes his home with us. This is not just tidying up our place in anticipation of a vital visitor, but rather a God who walks into the mess and disorder of our lives. This visitation allows us to discover how God seeks out the pearl of great price within us and reorders how we live from the inside out. No longer is our faith shaped by looking good to others, but by an interior conversion of heart.
This allows us to become people who seek to welcome the Word of God into our own hearts. That we might discover the homeliness that transforms us into people of thanksgiving. This Eucharistic heart prepares us to be people who can be at home with God, who invites us to the table of life. May we be at peace with God who dwells deep within.
