# Is God Leaving a Physical Footprint for Us?
*2018-02-16*

> Bill Young reflects on recent tragedies in Florida, wonders whether God is giving us a tangible sign of His presence, and leads listeners in prayers for guidance and the Spirit of love.

## Recent Tragedies and the Search for Meaning

Bill opens by noting the recent shootings in Parkland, Fort Lauderdale Airport, and the Orlando nightclub. He asks why such evil occurs and whether God is showing us a sign. He shares that he has been noticing a symbol he calls the “Trinity Shield”—an upside‑down triangle—that appeared in his life and in a group meeting of the Legion of Mary. Different members reported seeing a man’s face, an angel, or simply the triangle, leading Bill to wonder if this could be a physical footprint of God’s love.

## Why We Crave Physical Evidence

Bill explains that Catholics believe in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, yet many people still look for visible proof of God. He cites St. Thomas the Apostle, who needed to touch Christ’s wounds before believing. Bill suggests that God may be offering us a contemporary “footprint” to reassure us that He is present even amid tragedy.

## Prayer for Guidance

Bill leads a prayer for guidance, asking God to bless us with the Holy Spirit, to keep us in His care, and to bring us safely home at the hour of death. He emphasizes gratitude for the gifts of family, friends, and community.

## Invocation of the Spirit of Love

Bill recites a longer prayer invoking the Holy Spirit to renew the Church, bring justice and peace, dispel error and heresy, give courage to the persecuted, and inspire all believers to be witnesses of the Gospel. He asks the Spirit to fill hearts with wisdom, understanding, and divine fire.

## Final Supplication and Closing Thoughts

Bill concludes with a personal prayer, asking Jesus to pour out His Spirit upon him, to be his light, guide, and source of strength. He prays for the victims and families of the recent shootings, for the sick and injured, and for wisdom regarding gun ownership, expressing that those under 21 should not carry firearms. He ends by thanking God for the “footprint” of His face that reminds us He is physically with us.

*Even in the darkest moments, God may reveal Himself through tangible signs, inviting us to trust His presence and love.*
