"Ignatius believed that anyone who prayerfully considers the basic truth that we are created out of love by a transcendent God of holiness will grow in a sense of reverence. We will have a deepened sense of the sacredness of all things if we think of everything as continually being called and sustained in being by God."

Diving into the lake
The water folds me in
Like moss-green silk
Carrying me
Over the
Drapes of currents
Opening
Onto dark corridors
Of the depths
Where my soul
Longs to wander
And my body turns back
In its affinity
Toward dust,
Gliding, breaking
Through
The buoyancy
Of light
Unwinding
In the expanse of
Waves
Over the cradled water
Of our Lord's
Sustaining.
