You're listening to Encounter, a simple daily podcast of sacred and mindful meditations

to help you encounter the divine presence of God all throughout your day.

all that he is. But do you know his glory? I hope you do, because you were made to encounter it.

Have you encountered the glory of God recently? And how do you know? Well, I pray this meditation

manifestation of the presence of God. This time is a holy retreat set apart for you to rest in the

presence of the glory of God. A time for your mind to settle, you're breathing to relax,

in your eyes to close. So for this next moment, speak still as you were showered by the presence of

the Holy Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
