Contemplation
Care for creation and grow closer to God: Join our free contemplation program from May 30 to July 1
What is contemplation?
“This contemplation of creation allows us to discover in each thing a teaching which God wishes to hand on to us, since ‘for the believer, to contemplate creation is to hear a message, to listen to a paradoxical and silent voice’” (LS 85).
