One day, a soul awakens and delights itself with the morning that stretches on the horizon. It feels as if it is hovering above and beyond the human scale. It remembers being the daughter of a loving and good Father, a Creator who provides everything for everyone. Full of gratitude, it says this verse:
God, intelligence of intelligences, cause of causes, law of laws, principle of principles, reason of reasons, conscience of consciences. Isaac Newton was right to discover himself, every time he spoke Your Name.
God, kind Father, I find you in nature, your daughter and our mother.
I recognize you, Lord, in the poetry of Creation, in the wind that strums harmonies in the hair of the trees.
In colors that are so diverse in hues and gradations.
In the rolling waters, silent, in tiny streams, in the noisy waterfalls, of considerable heights, in the green of the grass that carpets the garden and the squares.
I recognize you, Father, in the flower of gardens and orchards, in the grass of the valleys, in the hue of the fields, in the breeze of the meadows.
Lord, I find you in the scent of the fields, in the murmur of the fountains, in the rumble of the smallest branches of the treetops.
I also discover you in the music of the woods, in the placidity of the lakes, in the pride of the mountains, in the expanse of the oceans, in the majesty of the firmament.
I see you, Lord, in the child who smiles, plays, jumps and spreads joy and laughter.
I recognize you, Father, in the old man who walks slowly, who stumbles. But, above all, in the intelligence he reveals, the result of his well-lived experiences.
I discover you in the beggar who begs, in the helping hand, in the mother who watches, in the father who instructs, in the apostle who evangelizes.
God! I recognize you in my wife's love, in my son's affection, in my sister's esteem, in your indulgent mercy.
And I find you, Lord, in the faith of what you have, in the hope of the peoples, in the charity of the good, in the integrity of the whole.
I recognize you, Lord, in the inspiration of the poet, in the eloquence of the speaker, in the creativity of the artist.
I also find you in the wisdom of the philosopher, in the intellectuality of the scholar, in the fires of the genius!
And you are still in the polar dawns, in the silvery of the moon, in the brightness of the sun, in the brightness of the stars, in the brightness of the constellations.
God! I recognize you in the formation of the nebulae, in the origin of the worlds, in the genesis of the suns, in the cradle of the humanities, in the wonder, in the splendor, in the sublime of the infinite!
Finally, I understand when Jesus prays "Our Father who art in heaven..." or when angels sing: "Glory to God on high..."
May you find peace you look for in your heart! 🌹🧡🙏
