Souls in the past sought God present in their hearts. It is as if they were in a great garden full of flowers observing and admiring a single flower. They gaze on it with love, in all its details and as a whole, but they do not observe the others. God asks us to look at all the flowers, because he is in them all, and only by observing them all do we love more him than the individual flowers.
Chiara Lubich, November 6, 1949
