Meditation on Nature

Flowers in the Garden at Holy Cross Monastery

For flowers are great blessings.

For there is no height in which there are not flowers.

For the flower glorifies God and the root parries the adversary.

For the warp and the woof of flowers are worked by perpetual moving spirits.

For there is a language of flowers.

For flowers are peculiarly the poetry of Christ.
