I see in CE:

With Saint John do I pray: “Come, Lord Jesus!”

But, I find as I have for years now - He is already with me."

Great minds think alike.

Augustine claimed that God was 'deeper in me than I am in me' (interior intimo meo).

I also see in Zenit that the Pope said:
“It is precisely this closeness of God to man that Augustine experienced with extraordinary force. The presence of God in man is deep and at the same time mysterious. It can however be discovered and recognized deep down in oneself: Don't look outside of yourself, says the converted one, "but go back into yourself -- truth resides in the interior man, and if you find that your nature is changeable, transcend yourself. But remember, when you transcend yourself, that you transcend a soul which reasons. Then reach beyond -- to where the light of reason is lit" ("De vera religione," 39, 72)” (http://www.zenit.org/rssenglish-21655)

God bless,

NoelFitz.
