“Your own of Your own we offer to You on behalf of all things and for all things.” (Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom)
“… when You open Your hand, they are filled with good things.” (Psalm 104:28)
“Take delight in all things that surround us. All things teach us and lead us to God. All things around us are droplets of the love of God –
both things animate and inanimate,
the plants and the animals,
the birds and the mountains,
the sea and the sunset and the starry sky.
They are little loves through which we attain to the great Love that is Christ.
Flowers, for example, have their own grace: they teach us with their fragrance and with their magnificence. They speak to us of the love of God.
They scatter their fragrance and their beauty on sinners and on the righteous.” (Elder Porphyrios, WOUNDED BY LOVE, p 218)
