Meditation for June 11th

("Creation" - Chester Cathedral, UK)

Genesis 1:1-5 (New International Version)
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day."

“Our duty, as men and women, is to proceed as if limits to our ability did not exist. We are collaborators in creation.” Teilhard de Chardin quotes (1881-1955)

“What can you ever really know of other people's souls - of their temptations, their opportunities, their struggles? One soul in the whole creation you do know: and it is the only one whose fate is placed in your hands” (C.S. Lewis)
