  1. The Beatitudes of Nature

  2. Blessed is the tree, which takes time to sink deep roots. It shows us what we have to do in order to withstand the storm.

  3. Blessed is the seed, which falls on good soil and so produces a rich harvest. It shows us what happens when we take the word of God to heart.

  4. Blessed is the vine, which having been pruned, becomes all the more fruitful. It shows us the benefits of self denial.

  5. Blessed are the flowers of the fields, their beauty bears witness to God’s prodigal artistry.

  6. Blessed are the ubiquitous sparrows, their carefree attitude to life gives us a lesson to trust in providence.

  7. Blessed is the wind, coming from where we do not know, to set sails in motion, to breathe life into dying embers. It reminds us of the mysterious workings of the spirit.

  8. Blessed is the rain which falls without favour on all fields. In it we see a reflection of God’s indiscriminate love for all God’s children.

  9. Blessed are the leaves, which know when to let go, and do so in a blaze of colour. They show us how to die.
