And in all around you, the wonders and beauty and awe, you cannot see God.

Why choose such blinders to Him?

I am not choosing blinders in reference to the visible things of God. I fully that God’s invisible attributes are clearly seen in the things which He created. I am fully in awe with God’s creative powers in this earth and the entire universe.

Romans 1:20 “For the invisible things of him frecognizerom the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:”

My point was only to conclude that the visible things are not religious building made by men’s hands in order for us to adore or be inspired. Christ expects me to be inspired by His Words without seeing anything. The natural creation which Christ created in 6 literal days is awe inspiring. And I recognize that in our physical bodies, we can deem something formulated by man as beautiful, but man’s “creation” pales in comparison to God’s creation. Therefore, the Catholic Church can make a building beautiful, but I’m not interested in buildings, Christ is not interested in buildings, except that building which is the Body of Christ; of which we are fitter together.

Therefore, I simply focus my spiritual efforts on ADORING Christ, not anything that man creates or fashions.
