Reflections

Sr. Raya Hanlon, OP

All things created have an order in themselves, and this begets the form that lets the universe resemble God.

The world, this palpable world, which we were wont to treat with the boredom and disrespect with which we habitually regard places with no sacred association for us, is in truth a holy place, and we did not know it.

  By means of all created things, without exception, the divine assails us, penetrates us, and molds us.

Either we acknowledge that God is in all things, or we have lost the basis for seeing God in anything.

God is always doing something more.

The created world is the primordial sacrament.
