Flourishing Fields

It's been rainy day after rainy day. . . and I have not yet been able to mow due to it..

So the lawn is covered in every color..

white. . .

red. . . .

blue . . .

yellow . . .

And of course green!

'"Walk before Me and be perfect." (Gen. xvii. i.) Let everything recall to you the presence of God. If, for example, you go into the garden and see some flowers, ask one of them. What are you? It will not reply, I am a flower. No, but it will say to you, Ego vox - I am a preacher; I preach the power, the wisdom, the goodness, the beauty, the prudence of our great God. Imagine that the flower makes you this reply, and let it penetrate your heart and teach you a lesson of divine love.'

St. Paul of the Cross
