“Bidden or unbidden, God is present.” – CARL JUNG

Some say Desiderius Erasmus said this or perhaps Carl Jung popularized it. But whoever coined it first – I love the eternal truth of it. and it’s even fun to say it in Latin:  “Vocatus atque non vocatus deus aderit.”  It also reminds me of the quote by Richard Rohr:

“We cannot attain the presence of God because we’re already totally in the presence of God.  What’s absent is awareness.”
-RICHARD ROHR
