With You Always: Sacred Moments in His Eternal Presence

In With You Always: Sacred Moments in His Eternal Presence, Oisín Ó Searcóid weaves a tapestry of divine encounters, tracing God's presence through sacred moments of scripture and personal relationship. From the cherubim's flaming sword guarding Eden's gate to the Eucharistic altar where Christ's eternal sacrifice unites heaven and earth, this book explores God's persistent call through covenant, prophecy, and theophany. Rooted in Old Testament study and a renewal of faith, Ó Searcóid unveils the timeless mercy of God-a journey from humanity's exile in Eden to the eternal communion with Christ's redemptive love.
Blending rigorous scriptural exegesis with heartfelt reflection, Ó Searcóid invites readers into a deeply personal pilgrimage. Raised in an Irish Catholic family, he shares his story of spiritual drift and return as an invitation for others to reflect on their own exile through life. From serving Mass as a boy to rediscovering faith in America, his journey mirrors the redemptive arc of scripture itself-culminating in the transformative power of the Eucharist, where sacred moments become a timeless communion "transcending etherealities to comfort our exile."
