Nature Helps us to Pray

Come alive, dear friends!

Just contemplate the pictures above...

In silence...

Let the power of silence make you still, quiet,

God the Creator is present in creation...

Let this day be really the Lord's Day for you!

Let us take our hands off , let us open our clenched fists,

Let us let go of everything that prevents us from our life-denying attitudes,

and welcome the life-affirming experience of surrendering all

to the healing hands of the Lord.

Let us read the verses from the Book of Sir ach with our hearts

with faith, hope and love.

May the healing presence of the Lord be with us all! ``````````````````````````````````````

"The pride of the heavenly heights

is the clear firmament, the appearance of heaven in a spectacle of glory. The sun, when it appears,

making proclamation as it goes forth, is a marvellous instrument, the work of the Most Hight. At noon it parches the land; who can withstand its burning heat? ... Great is the lord who made it; and at his command it hastens on its course. He made the moon also, to serve in its season to mark the times

and to be an everlasting sign... The glory of the stars is the beauty of heaven, a gleaming array in the heights of the Lord. At the command of the Holy One they stand as ordered, they never relax in their watches. Look upon the rainbow, and praise him who made it, exceedingly beautiful in its brightness,

it encircles the heaven with its glorious arc; the hands of the Most Hight have stretched it out." (Sirach 43: 1-12) -------------------------------------- vmalpan@gmail.com
