Hôm ấy, Đức Giêsu cầu nguyện một mình. Các môn đệ cũng ở đó với Người, và Người hỏi các ông rằng: "Dân chúng nói Thầy là ai? " (Lc 9,18)

The Sacredness of God's Handiwork 
How do we live in creation? 
Do we relate to it as a place full of "things" we can 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.
