Every time I walk the pathways of this shrine, Lord, I am surrounded by trees that are nearly a hundred years old or more. The trees tower above me, and I feel protected by the cool shade they provide, refreshed by the soft breeze blowing through their branches. These trees have weathered countless winter storms and burning summer heat. And still they continue to grow bit by bit, reaching toward the heavens. May my faith in you be like these trees, able to weather the challenges that come my way; help me – in good and bad times – to grow closer to you day by day.

Amen.
