TOS046 Retreat with Fr Philip Scott-Come to the Water Part3

TOS046 Come to the Water-Fr. Philip Scott Part 3 For audio TOS046: Come to the Water Part III – Truth of the Spirit (podcast) | Listen Notes

Join Patti Brunner for Truth of the Spirit as she shares audio excerpts of the retreat given by Fr. Philip Scott in Arkansas for the leaders of the Arkansas Catholic Charismatic Renewal.  The theme for the retreat is “Come to the Water”.  In Part 3 Fr. Philip describes God’s love for us. He shares stories from around the world.

In this third episode of the series, Fr. Philip Scott, explains how God finds everything about you exquisite even the way your foot fits in your shoe, your ear, every feature.   He loves you as if nothing existed in the universe but you.  He shares that the question is not “God where are you?” but “Where are you not?”  Fr. Philip Scott shares about some of the people he has met in his travels around the world including a cloistered nun who has a gift like St. Anthony of Padua of experiencing becoming a child and playing with the Infant Jesus.  Father Philip was with her as she interacted with the Infant Jesus as he visited her for two hours and 50 minutes.  The nun is a victim soul who has given God a “blank check”. 

Quoting St. Elizabeth of Hungary, Father Scott shares that our soul is a piece of paradise, a piece of heaven, where the Lord resides.  When he was kidnapped he heard the Trinity say to him, “My son what separates you and us, time and eternity, is a thread.”  Time with God, especially adoration, begins to sensitize our senses so we can experience his ever closeness!  When God finds a soul that is generous with Him, He will unleash graces that you cannot imagine!  Through adoration, priests-even if they are a mess—are especially transformed into Jesus.
