The Holy of Holies was the most sacred place on Earth. It is where the high priest would meet with God, face to face, on Yom Kippur, to see atonement for all of Israel.
This place was built so that it was only large enough for one person, the high priest, and, of course, the presence of God. This most sacred place is now a place we need to create for ourselves, to meet face to face with God and seek our atonement. This place should be free of the things of the world and should be still and quiet.
We need to create this space…it could be inside of us (provided we could ever make that still and quiet enough!). It can also be a physical space, a building, a room, or even the outdoors.
We could make this space in our minds if we can quite our minds. Perhaps some of the prayers, such as the Rosary, are geared toward focusing the mind through the repetitive feature of it so that the real benefit is the quite secret place.
The Mission – Today, go into the secret place, apart from the world and even the things of Him, away from everything – but His presence.
