Reflection

“The initial step for a soul to come to knowledge of God is contemplation of nature.” –St. Irenaeus

Prayer

Loving maker,

What a pathway of delight! You invite us to know you better and better, by inviting us first to consider and cherish all the beautiful things you have made. Help us take time to do so, more than we do, to admire the natural environment around us. And as we do, we ask that you will be faithful to meet us there, to refresh and inspire us. Through our simple habits of attention, fill us with your spirit, that we may better embody the mission you have given and to which we are committed. Amen.

Call to Action

Be refreshed today in my mission of healing by taking a few minutes’ walk in the beauty of nature.
