Summary/Abstract: The Christian who advances in the likeness of God does not direct his attention only to God and his fellowmen, but also to Creation, to the world and the surrounding nature. The world that surrounds him and in which he walks and which he looks at every day is a means of meeting God, of amazement and contentment. On the one hand, by paying attention to Creation, man shows his love and gratitude towards God, love and care towards his neighbor. On the other hand, also in the love of God and people there is the power to change the human soul in such a way that the love spills over the Creation as well. The surrounding world can be an opportunity for rise or fall, and this depends on how man looks at and receives, every day, this gift from God. The more he grows in love and, in general, in virtue, detaching himself from sin, the more attention and care for Creation improves.
