Beauty
in the Eye of a Beholder
photos of
JRH's natural beauty taken by a 2009 summer retreatant
A great way to get to know God
is through the beauty of creation. Indeed, as the Jesuit poet Gerard
Manley Hopkins once wrote, "the world is charged with the grandeur
of God.
Jesuit Retreat House has been
blessed with 57 acres of beautiful forest and meadow in which the splendors of
nature meet the senses everywhere. But don't take our word for it: see
it for yourself in the photos below, which were taken by a retreatant this
summer....or come on retreat to view it live and in person!
