Listen to the Sermons of the Flowers



When you take your solitary walks, listen to the sermons of the flowers, the trees, the bushes, the heavens, the sun, and all the world.  You will find they preach of love and praise of God, and invite you to magnify the greatness of the Sovereign Artist, who gave them being.

(From a letter of Saint Paul of the Cross to Francis Appiani, July 16, 1738)
