Lenten Devotional

Beauty and Mystery, Watercolour in sketchbook 

Day 9 (Thursday)  

Finding ourselves in a world of beauty and mystery, 
  of living things, diverse and interdependent,
  of complex patterns of growth and evolution,
  of subatomic particles and cosmic swirls,
we sing of God the Creator,
the Maker and Source of all that is.  

Which words used to describe “a world” above resonate most deeply for you? How would you describe the world? How would you describe your response to the world? Some of “all that is” is painful. Pray for the world.
