"Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what he has made . . ." (Romans 1:20.)
Explore the gift of creation and God's great love for each of us by taking a short walk in your neighbor-hood, visiting a local park, strolling in your own backyard-or even observing nature from a window of your home. "For from the greatness and beauty of created things comes a corresponding perception of their Creator" (Wisdom 13:5). Learn to apply the lessons from God's two great books-the Book of Nature and the Book of Holy Scripture-to your own prayer life using the change of seasons, Scripture, silence, prayers of praise, and a sense of wonder. Full of simple nature poems, short Scripture quotations, nature enrichment activities, additional reading suggestions, and Catholic teaching, this book will increase awareness of God's loving presence in the natural world, enhance your prayer life, and assist in our mandate to pray and give glory to God always.
