Beautiful sunrise over the moutains this morning. Often the most striking part of the sunrise with all the colors & brilliance only lasts a few seconds, literally. One has to keep watch & wait patiently for it, recognize it when it arrives, & finally simply to be present to the glory of it.
...
It is appropriate that the daily Mass reading this week recount the creation story, but we must remember that - despite a recent trend to make a god out of the earth - it is man himself that is the pinnacle of creation, because he is God's own likeness in a way that natural things cannot be.
...
Perhaps the sunrise each morning is God's reminder to us to rediscover this, both in ourselves and in our fellow man, & to be present to the glory of it.
