Perceive the divine mystery

' Love all God's creation, the whole of it and every grain of sand.

Love every leaf, every ray of God's light!

Love the animals, love the plants, love everything.

If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things.

And once you have perceived it

             you will begin to comprehend it ceaselessly, more and more every day.

And you will at last come to love the whole world with an abiding universal love. '
