Dear Friends,
There is nothing like warm, sunny days to get us outside: sitting on our porch with a good book, hiking a trail, or going for a run along the beach. Vacation days help us to stop and notice that beauty and goodness all around us that speaks to us of God.
“From the creation, learn to admire the Lord! The heavens, a flower of His love; the sea, a drop of His goodness; the earth, full of His mercy. Every tree speaks of Him, every breeze whispers His name.” St John Chrysostom
How easy it is to pray in this way! If we slow down a little and take in this revelation of God, our interior spiritual senses will awaken to God’s presence. And it is in these communications of his love for us that our hearts experience consolation. Our response may then be a movement to greater trust, to rest, or simply to gratitude, which is is a beautiful prayer.
I hope that all of us can take time to enjoy being outside and find moments to connect with God in this way!
Yours in the heart of Jesus,
Glory Darbellay
