Sacramental encounters

The sacramental encounters I believe in are: the presence of Christ in church, the presence of Christ in the poor, the presence of Christ in the Eucharist, the presence of Christ in prayer and the forgiveness of sins through unmerited Grace. I have abused, and continue to abuse, each and all of them. Increasingly, I try not to abuse these, but I still feel like hiding under my bed every time I think of them. And every once in a while, Grace seeks me out from under my bed. "Peace be with you" it says.
