The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/120225.cfm In Proverbs 8, Scripture reveals a tender mystery: before the world began, the Eternal Son “was beside Him… playing before Him at all times.” Before creation, before the angels, Jesus rejoiced in the Father’s presence with the freedom of a child. Fr. Anthony reminds us that this childlike joy is not optional—it is essential to the spiritual life. “Unless you become like little children, you will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven” (Mt 18:3).

Father Anthony explains how God created heaven and earth from the chaos that came before, and He can do the same in your life when you turn to Him in prayer.

Father Anthony recommends that we pray this prayer in nature, praising God for the glory of creation.
