Christ alone has the ability to reveal Himself. When I sense His approach, I drop my defenses; or rather they fall off of their own accord, because He alone is the voice of my truth and faith, speaking within me. Even when He does not, He reveals Himself in innumerable ways and with ineffable mystery, for Christ's person is an infinite power that reveals itself to us without any effort on our part. Rather, our efforts are the major impediment to Christ's revelation. Our greatest need is to experience His coming to us, receive Him with our entire being, and then allow Him to speak and act within us.
