Francis Thompson calls God, "The Hound of Heaven." It's a hunting metaphor, that God comes hounding after you before the thought ever dawns. God seeks after lost sheep, lost coins, lost sons. It begins with God, always the pursuer.

“Your life is so much stronger than ours that it dominates us, absorbs us, and assimilates us to itself…. Although I might have imagined that it was I who held the consecrated Bread and gave myself its nourishment, I now see with blinding clarity that it is the Bread that takes hold of me and draws me to itself. (Tielhard de Chardin, "The Priest, Writings in Time of War.")

Moses implores God: “Although this is a stiff-necked people if now I have found favor in your sight, O Lord, I pray, let the Lord go with us.” “Let the Lord go with us.” We discover God along the way. We never see God coming, but afterward, in reflecting on our common experience, we recognize the hand of God that was guiding us all along.

The Spirit is given for this benefit: whenever you or I forgive a brother or sister from the heart, we are participating in Christ’s ministry of forgiveness, exercising the priestly ministry of every baptized Christian.
