POPE CITES CHESTERTON ON GOD'S GLORY

    VATICAN (CWNews.com) -- In his public audience of Wednesday, January 26, Pope John Paul II continued his catechetical series on the Trinity, and cited the English Catholic writer G. K. Chesterton as he spoke of "the glory of the Trinity in creation."

    The Holy Father quoted Chesterton's observation that today's society "does not lack for marvels, but lacks a sense of the marvelous." The Pope said that main is called to contemplate the beauty of creation, and marvel at the way in which creation reflects the glory of God. He added that "when nature is not violated and humiliated, she becomes a sister to mankind."

    At the conclusion of his audience, the Pope offered his personal greetings to some of the 7,000 pilgrims who had gathered in the Paul VI auditorium to hear him. Speaking in English, he offered his prayers and condolences to the American students at Seton Hall University, in New Jersey, where a fire in a dormitory killed three undergraduates last week. He also greeted a group of Belarussian youngsters who are now living with Italian families.
