Dear Diary,
Today was another enchanting day as Sister Mary Claire and I ventured back to the magnificent glacial rock that she showed me yesterday. Each visit seems to unfold new layers of wonder and awe in my heart. The rock, so ancient and enduring, whispers stories of the world's creation, echoing through time. Sister let me read more from the book she gave me, and I am utterly captivated by the discussions on creation and how everything connects back to the very beginning of time.
As we sat near the rock, Sister explained more about how the world itself proclaims the existence of God, not just through divine revelation, but through the natural order itself. "For by the greatness of the beauty and of the creature, the Creator of them may be seen so as to be known thereby" (Wisd. xiii. 5), she read aloud. It’s mesmerizing to think about how the immensity, splendor, and perfect order of the universe all point to a Creator of infinite wisdom, power, and goodness.
This evening, back at the Inner Court prayer wagon, we said a special prayer, filled with gratitude and wonder for the natural world around us. Here is the prayer we shared:
Evening Prayer from the Inner Court Prayer Wagon:
Heavenly Father, Creator of all, In the quiet of this evening, we sit in awe of Your magnificent creation. From the vast skies to the ancient rocks, Each element of nature tells the story of Your greatness. Help us to see Your hand in every detail, From the grandest mountain to the smallest grain of sand. May our hearts always be open to the lessons of Your creation, Teaching us about Your infinite power, wisdom, and love. Guide us to walk gently upon this earth, Cherishing and protecting the wonders You have entrusted to us. Amen.
What a privilege it is to explore these profound truths and to have such serene moments of reflection with Sister Mary Claire. Every day spent in her company brings me closer to understanding the depths of our faith and the marvels of our world.
With a heart full of peace, Kathy
