Creation Itself as Cathedral

Reflect

Richard Rohr, OFM, writes, “Creation itself—not ritual or spaces constructed by human hands—was Francis’ primary cathedral.” What comes to mind as you consider these words? What aspects of your life do you think of?


Pray

Today, I will view my world through the lens of this word: cathedral.
How extraordinary to see the holiness here,
no matter my landscape.
Summer’s end shines with pink and teal sunlight on wings—
this sudden stained glass dragonfly.


Act

Today, let yourself be even more deeply appreciative of the natural world around you. Breathe in the spirit of St. Francis.
