Ślady Boga w przyrodzie w pismach świętego Franciszka z Asyżu, świętego Bonawentury i świętego Jana Pawła II
The traces of God in nature in the writings of saint Francis of Assisi, saint Bonawentura and saint John Paul II

Summary/Abstract: St. Francis of Assisi, St. Bonaventure of Bagnoregio and St. John Paul II form a group of people who share devotion for the sanctity of life and love of nature. They saw and read life and nature as a living book of God, discovering grandeur and beauty of creation. Faithful to Scripture, they proposed appreciation of nature because “For by the greatness of the beauty, and of the creature, the Creator of them may be seen, so as to be known thereby” (Wis 13: 5), and glorify Him for this work. For believers and nonbelievers beauty placed by God in nature proves His existence and allows the person to look at the world in the perspective of eternity. Reading the signs of God in nature is addressed to all people, because together we form a family, a brotherly sisterly communion with the Father and our universal relatives. God left traces in nature to provide an insight into His selfless love and, consequently, to marvel at the mystery of existence and its beauty. The point is to be able to hear or have the ability to recognize the signs and hidden meanings which speak to us of this.
