Mother Teresa, a spiritual giant, spent decades with no sense of the presence of God. I, a spiritual pygmy, from my earliest years have felt the presence of God. I can only assume this is a free will gift of God, and He bestows it as He pleases. Perhaps those most in need of it are granted it. Maybe we shall find out about it in the next life, or,perhaps our only answer will be: What is that to thee? Follow thou Me!
What I like about this scene is that it is not at all obvious *how* El Cid does prevail over his 13 foes. It seems inexplicable, as God’s work often is.
