I came across this lovely quote today on the Catholic Exchange website and thought it summed up beautifully how we can see God's beauty and design in all of creation. There are all sorts of theories on creation and how it (and us) came to be, but one thing we can be sure of was that a grand designer must have been behind it all. Only a good and loving being could create something so perfect and so beautiful.

Thank you for this Ally. It is a lovely quote and reminds us that there is always something of 'fascination' and 'wonder' about Nature's ways. The AECI hope to have a webpage focused exclusively on the unique and the healing power of our natural world in the near future. The 2015 papal encyclical entitled 'Laudate Si' was a call by Pope Francis, early in his office, to consider again our actions and our behaviours in relation to the environment. There are some great resources at the link below for any interested parties:
