use for whatever need we want to fulfill and whatever goal we wish to accomplish?
Or do we see creation first of all as a sacramental reality, a sacred space where
God reveals to us the immense beauty of the Divine?
As long as we only use creation, we cannot recognise its sacredness because we are
approaching it as if we are its owners. But when we relate to all that surrounds
us as created by the same God who created us and as the place where God appears
to us and calls us to worship and adoration, then we are able to recognise the sacred
quality of all God's handiwork.
