REFLECTION QUESTIONNature Enjoy the Sunrise/SunsetFather Thomas Berry says, "... our primary purpose is celebration. Celebration of the dawn and the sunset and the different seasons of the year is a religious ritual, a way in which humans can establish their integral relationship with the universe, with the planet Earth." What is your response to Berry's assertion?
Delaney Hanson 2/04/2020 11:31 PMI agree with what Berry said about celebrating sunrises or sunsets is a way for humans to connect to the Earth, but I especially use it as a way to connect with God and take time to thank Him and appreciate His creation that He gave to us.
