Prayer and contemplation are natural responses to the beauty of the created order. As Catholics we especially celebrate the presence of God veiled in creation, professing Christ as the Logos, the Word of God, the mind and thought of God, veiled in the beauty and splendor of created things. Every Sunday we renew our faith by reciting the creed and affirm our belief that “through him (Jesus Christ) all things were made.” There is, in other words, an intimate and inescapable connection between creation and Christ.
