A Reflection from new associate Cecilia Skwarok

I have always felt a closeness to trees. At times, I would pause and gently touch a tree as I walked through the forest. Somehow, I sensed a connection to it. However, this inspiring retreat has filled my heart with renewed wonderment regarding trees! As our group reflected, I realized more than ever how sacred and life-giving trees are! Now I yearn to go for a quiet walk in the amazing forest and breath in deeply God's love for me. Trees and plants of the forest, bless the Lord. Praise and exalt Him forever!
