Goodness

The word "Goodness" is written on you and on all creation.
A letter of Saint Therese Couderc, co-founder of the Cenacle Sisters, shares a vision of goodness:

A few days ago, I saw something
that consoled me very much.
It was during my thanksgiving,
when I was making a few reflections
on the goodness of God ...
infinite goodness, uncreated goodness, source of all goodness! ...
I was extremely touched by these reflections,
when I saw written as in letters of gold this word "Goodness,"
which I repeated for a long while with an indescribable sweetness.
I saw it, I say,
written on all creatures,
animate and inanimate,
rational or not —
all bore this name of goodness.
I saw it even on the chair
which I was using for a kneeler.
I understood then that all that these creatures have of good
and all the services and help that we receive from each of them
are a kindness that we owe
to the goodness of our God,
who has communicated to them
something of his infinite goodness,
so that we may meet it
in everything and everywhere.

Written August 10, 1866

Thank you, cybernun! After that NASA sequence, I picture you as a cross between the Flying Nun and Apollo 11.

There's a lot of potential in this medium for promoting goodness.

Thanks, unexpectedkangaroo. And blessings on your own efforts to promote goodness and peace in our troubled world.

I discovered this lovely video and accompanying words about goodness when I tapped into the search engine in search of the author of a certain phrase. The phrase never popped up but an entire series of wonderful videos did instead. Foreordained, perhaps?
