With all of humanity
we are called to be one with the rest of creation:
and with it, we are invited to move together
into a deeper relationship with the loving Creator.

 
St. Ignatius of Loyola, 16th century

If there is anyone who is not enlightened
by the sublime magnificence of created things, he is blind.
If there is anyone who, seeing all these works of God,
does not praise Him, he is dumb;
if there is anyone who, from so many signs,
cannot perceive God, that person is foolish.

 
St. Bonaventure, 13th century

We are created
to share in God's love and life for eternity.

 
St. Ignatius of Loyola, 16th century

Learn to love the Creator in his creation,
the Worker in his work.
Don’t be so fascinated with by things created
that you forget the One who created them all.

 
St. Augustine, 5th century

All your creatures, Lord, invite me to love you.

 
St. Robert Southwell, 16th century

The earth, the sea, the sky, the air, the springs,
the rivers, give praise and glory to their Creator
for all that we find beautiful and wonderful in them.

 
St. Leo the Great, 5th Century

God is an artist and the universe is his work of art.

 
St. Thomas Aquinas, 13th century

Blessed be God,
we shall find no changes in weather in eternity.

 
St. Teresa of Avila, 16th century
