February 2, 2020: The Fabric of the Cosmos – Michael Hidalgo

The Psalmist speaks of how, without words, the universe speaks about, witnesses to and lends testimony to God. Of course, the universe teaches all kinds of things about God. But one thing that is often missed is how the universe - from the smallest particles to the largest objects in existence - point toward a generous and giving God. Every second of existence we find all sorts of things giving of themselves - at times to the point of death - to sustain the life and existence of something else. Generosity is woven into the fabric of the cosmos.

Why then, do we as humans, often work against that? For when we choose something other than generosity, we go against the direction of the universe and the Divine Mystery that sustains all of it. It’s possible that a generous life may integrate and connect us to the life of God that pulses through the universe.
