REFLECT
"Glance at the sun. See the moon and the stars.
Gaze at the beauty of earth’s greenings.
Now, think.
What delight God gives to humankind
with all these things .
All nature is at the disposal of humankind.
We are to work with it. For
without we cannot survive." – Hildegard of Bingen [3]
"Even in a world that's being shipwrecked, remain brave and strong" – Hildegard of Bingen [3]
St. Hildegard wrote many recipes including one for Cookies of Joy [4], which are said to increase joy and positivity.
PRAY and GIVE
If you are able, bake cookies of joy this week, or a different favorite recipe, to increase joy and positivity in your life. If possible, share what you cook with family or friends.
