The grace of creation...

"The Sacraments," 

By St. Francis of Assisi

"I once spoke to my friend, an old squirrel, about the Sacraments--

he got so excited

and ran into a hollow in his tree and came

holding some acorns, an owl feather, 

and a ribbon he had found.

And I just smiled and said, 'Yes, dear, you understand:

everything imparts His grace.'"

As quoted in The Franciscan Way course, Center for Action and Contemplation,

There isn't much to add to this incredible teaching by St. Francis. What can we glean from it, these last hours of winter? Everything in creation is sacred, imparted with the grace of God, the Creator. Let us live today, knowing this truth. Love, heidi
