Fall in Love with Creation

PAUSE

REFLECT

We protect what we love. Think of moments in your life when you've fallen in love with creation. Are there any physical places, types of weather, or times of the day when you are most likely to experience awe for the world?

ACT

Ask God for the grace to experience awe in response to creation today. Take some time to put yourself in the physical and mental space to fall more deeply in love with the people and world around you. In light of this love, how do you feel called to respond to care for the world?

Some suggestions: 

• Watch the sun rise or set

• Go for a short walk and notice what you notice for 5 minutes

• Delight in a beloved pet

• Watch the afternoon light filter through the trees

• Embrace the weather today, no matter the conditions
