It is important that we know our cosmology as well as possible in order to savour God’s grandeur and glory.
We need to create the conditions so that spirituality can emerge as something so deeply inside us that we need not even think about it, but we simply live in the presence of God in everything and of everything in God.
(Leonardo Boff : Cry of the Earth, Cry of the Poor)
The one who is filled with an impassioned love of Jesus hidden in the forces
which bring increase to the earth,
him the earth will lift up, like a mother, in the immensity of her arms,
and will enable him to contemplate the face of God.
The one who is filled with an impassioned love for Jesus
hidden in the forces which bring death to the earth,
him the earth will clasp in the immensity of her arms
as her strength fails, and with her he will awaken in the bosom of God.
(Teilhard de Chardin,The Mass on the world)
