Reflection

“If things created are so full of loveliness, how resplendent with beauty must be the One who made them!” –St. Anthony of Padua

Prayer

Spirit of grace,

May our eyes be open to seeing your glory shining through every facet of your creation, including each other. Let the beauty of your creation inspire us to beautify our own communities in every which way, mirroring your loveliness in the way we love our neighbors, especially those most in need. With gratitude to you, giver of all that is good. Amen.
