With a little delay due to the feast day of Saint Thérèse, here are the quotes posted to Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter) this past week. The theme, until October 4, is still Christian contemplation in the Season of Creation., seen in the images chosen for the backgrounds, as well as in the selection of quotes themselves (though some more than others).

If you consider God in all of them [other creatures, other persons], they will be to you as a shining mirror that represents the Creator to you. — Saint John of Avila

When we see a neighbour who is created to the image and likeness of God, ought we not to say one to another: Observe and see this creature, how he resembles the Creator! — Saint Francis de Sales

Contemplating the beauty of creation inspires us to recognize the love of the Creator, that Love which “moves the sun and the other stars.” — Pope Benedict XVI, quoting the last canto of Dante’s Paradiso
