For the world
"Take time to gaze in wonder at Nature, the flight of a bird, a flower in bloom, the dry leaf crumbling to dust, the flow of a river, the rising of the moon, a silhouette of a mountain against the sky. And as you do this, the hard, protective shell around your heart will soften and melt and your heart will come alive."
—Anthony de Mello, SJ
