This series uses poetry to start a conversation about how to live a life of holiness and to see God in the world around us.

The goal of this series is to help you discover a new way to find God in the midst of the modern world and to give you a new spring of material for meditation and prayer. Through the beauty of these verses, we can invite God to raise our minds and hearts to Him in a new way and stay connected to the One who made us.

In our next Poetry and Praise video, we'll turn to the Romantics for a walk through nature and let them inspire a greater reflection on God's omnipresent nature.

May God bless you!
