Praise of God
 


In speaking of God’s grandeur, our language will always prove inadequate and must make space for silent contemplation.

Praise of God
 


“My soul magnifies - makes great - the Lord”.

Where God is made great, men and women are not made small: there too men and women become great and the world is filled with light.
