God is seen....

I really liked this little piece of writing / prayer that I found in my Mother in Laws St John the Baptiste Herald parish magazine:

Only where God is seen
Does life truly begin.
Only when we meet
the living God in Christ
do we know what Life is.
We are not some casual and meaningless product of evolution.
Each of us is the result of the thought of God.
Each of us is willed.
Each of us is loved.
Each of us is nescessary.
There is nothing more beautiful
than to be surprised by the Gospel,
by the encounter with Christ.
There is nothing more beautiful
than to know Him
and to speak to others of our friendship with Him.

Pope Benedict XVI
