Quotes about Omnipresence

The question, how the saints and the Virgin Mary can hear so many thousands of prayers addressed to them simultaneously in so many different places, without being clothed with the divine attributes of omniscience and omnipresence, did not disturb the faith of the people.

Never suppose that God is more "there" than "here," or more "then" than "now." For the Father is always working—in all places, at all times, in all people. The steadfast love of God fills the entire earth (Psalm 33:15).

If I ascend to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there.

God is everywhere and in everything and without Him we cannot exist.
