Friday of the Fifth Week of Lent


“…Every flower created by Him is beautiful, the brilliance of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not lessen the perfume of the violet or the sweet simplicity of the daisy. I understood that if all the lowly flowers wished to be roses, nature would lose it’s springtide beauty, and the fields would no longer be enameled with lovely hues.”

Imagine a field of bright colorful flowers. Imagine standing at the edge of it, gazing upon the perfect arrangement of flowers. The beauty is created by a combination of different flowers of different heights, different scents, different colors. A garden is not a garden without the variety and uniqueness of each and every single flower in combination with all the others.

Your beauty is unique and is essential to the beauty of all creation. Recognize your beauty as a gift and let it shine. No one can fill the place in the world’s garden that God has reserved for your color, your scent and your magnificence.
