Oh how true it is that to look at the Universe and not to recognize God, love Him and believe in Him, is true madness! All created things are like many veils which hide Him; and God comes to us as though veiled in each created thing, because man is incapable of seeing Him unveiled in his mortal flesh. The Love of God for us is so great that in order not to dazzle us with His Light, frighten us with His Power, make us feel ashamed in front of His Beauty, make us be annihilated before His Immensity, He veils Himself in the created things, so as to come and be with us in each created thing — even more, to make us swim in His very Life. My God, how much You loved us, and how much You do love us!
Our Lord Jesus to Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta

It is interesting that I am reading your comment having just come home from a shopping trip. On the way home, I was ruminating on my recent visit to my GP. He is a pleasant young man, but Godless. A couple of days ago he diagnosed Atrial fibrillation, and explained to me what it meant. What I was turning over in my mind as I drove home is how someone like that, who has studied in depth the various systems of the body, and even more wondrous, the interworking of the systems, can not see the beneficent design of a Creator. And if that is not enough, the working of the rest of the universe ! Even as common a substance as water; who was so brilliant as to invent water? So many people can see all this evidence laid out before them, and still not draw the so obvious conclusion! Take care, Carlos John

Certainly a grain of sand contains enough wonders when observed under the microscope. And yet some seem to develop a blindness stubbornly oblivious to all the marvels around us. Everything reflects God’s greatness for those who have faith.

Amen! Heaven and Earth are filled with His glory! And the miracle of His incessant design and beauty give testimony in every flower, every starry night, every blue green sea. And these are but dim shadows of what awaits us in Heaven.
As a Gardener, I’m overblown every day by the genius of Nature with which l am privileged to work… to see, close up, the perfection of His work and all the other sensory gifts His work provides. And l thank Him for creating all these things and for creating us with the antennae to see, hear, smell, and touch His creation. And the perfection of this Nature belies Him in its unnecessary beauty. Flowers don’t need color, not really. If God simply wanted bees to pollinate, He could have made the little things attracted to black and white. And why must a gardenia smell so immensely… to us? It need only be scented for that which pollinates it. But it pleased God to allow us the senses to also enjoy it. Must the sky be blue? No. God ordained it so and gave us eyes that see it in its intense blazing glory. And for that and so much more, l am bobsled grateful.
