I welcome all creatures of the world with grace.

I, God, am in your midst. Whoever knows me can never fall. Not in the heights, nor in the depths, nor in the breadths. For I am love, which the vast expanses of evil can never still.

O Eternal God, now may it please you to burn in love so that we become the limbs fashioned in the love you felt when you begot your Son at the first dawn before all creation. And consider this need which falls upon us, take it from us for the sake of your Son, and lead us to the joy of your salvation.

I, the fiery life of divine wisdom, I ignite the beauty of the plains, I sparkle the water, I burn in the sun, and the moon, and the stars.

Glance at the sun. See the moon and stars. Gaze at the beauty of the green earth. Now think.

It is easier to gaze into the sun, than into the face of the mystery of God. Such is its beauty and its radiance.

The Word is living, being, spirit, all verdant greening, all creativity. This Word manifests itself in every creature.
