Abstract
In the liturgical texts, the chapter suggests, we affirm an inward reality to visible things that is experienced directly by only a few of our holy Fathers and Mothers (though perhaps more of them than we realize). But liturgy, the chapter states, in turn gives us the possibility of growing into that experience so that it becomes our own. Such an inner vision is what enables us to hold together the growth of plants or the formation and decay of stars with the transformation of matter into Christ. Here, the chapter is talking about an awareness of the Godwardness of all things, an ability to perceive their service, their everyday activity, as a hymn of praise.
