“…the Lord called out his name: the Lord.
The Lord passed in front of Moses and said, “I am the Lord.
The Lord is a God who shows mercy, who is kind,
who doesn’t become angry quickly, who has great love and faithfulness.”
Exodus 34:5-6

We need to become wonderologists:
one who studies the wonders of God.

God's Grandeur

BY GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS

The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;
It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil Crushed.
Why do men then now not reck his rod? Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;
And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil; And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell:
the soil Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.
And for all this, nature is never spent;
There lives the dearest freshness deep down things; And though the last lights off the black West went
Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs — Because the Holy Ghost over the bent World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.
