What God creates never stands alone, it is always made for loving connection. The creativity of Jesus and the Church reconciles and reintegrates all that might appear isolated and alone. Genesis 1:28-31; 1 Cor 12:12-27.

Even though we have ears, still we may not hear. Creativity requires a deep listening to people, to what is being made, to the world. This kind of holy perception waits patiently until what is needed can be truly understood. Romans 8:19, 22-23; Mark 8:11-21.

Creativity requires risk. Learn from the risk of a courageous child forging an unexpected future for her brother and a suffering people. Genesis 1:3; Exodus 2:1-10.

Before God ever utters a creative word, God’s Spirit first “hovers” over the chaotic waters. Explore and embrace the creative power and promise of holy patience in a rushed and rushing world. Genesis 1:1-2; Luke 4:1-13.
