Today I felt the desire to invoke God as the Power from which my weakness can draw strength before the Blessed Sacrament. I then called upon Him as the Sun and warmed myself in His rays. Eventually, a whole litany emerged, in which I called Him Heaven – Air – Wind – Star – Sky – Sea – Earth – Flower – Field – Bread – Wine – Oil – Grain – Tree, and I could not stop because I saw that everything He created has something of Him within it, of His beauty, goodness, and love.
