Restoration
Treating creation as ‘it,’ an object, we often try to control it for our own use or disregard. We see creation as something to be used. Treating creation as ‘thou,’ personally, gives honor and opens us for encounter, even affection. God’s mission is to restore and renew all of creation in a loving embrace. Jesus intercedes and invites our participation.
-Br. Luke Ditewig, SSJE
