#1053 Wed. Nov. 6/19 10am. St. Theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament
What beauty there is in God. He has Created and Contains all beauty.
Do we see beauty as part of His Creation or just as something we see/experience with our senses?
Do we dare to acknowledge God as the Creator? Do we comment “Oh what a gorgeous sight!” without adding thank you God for this beautiful sight?
We hesitate because perhaps we have not made it part of our prayer life. It may have to be a good habit that we endeavour to acquire.
Seeing beauty should evoke from us a thanks to the Creator of it and also of our eyes which can see it.
Now, do not get upset that those who are blind cannot see such beauty. Yet they can still thank God for it, have someone sighted explain it to them, or ‘see’ with their senses.
They can feel a gentle breeze, hear waves crashing on sand, hear early morning birds singing, smell perfume.
So please do not discard beauty if you can’t physically see it.
Know by wisdom and intelligence that there is beauty all around. Like the taste of a good soup.
Do we thank God for the ingredients?
No, No. Listen, I am serious. God Creates beauty all around us and He asks us to not only recognize the tasty soup, but as well acclaim the Creator of the soup’s ingredients.
I ask you always to step it up a notch. Reach beyond your senses into the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.
It is with us now. God has Created it, so let us be grateful to Him for it.
