Science teaches us at once both the immense vastness of the universe at a macroscopic level — galaxies whose expanse in space generates awe in even the most cynical — as well as the inverse: the billions of cells that make up each individual organism. Together they reveal the vast web of interconnectedness, the foundation of God’s design for a world whose destiny is a living communion held together in love. Each human being, uniquely and through his or her own gifts, becomes part of the story of how this mystery is revealing itself over the steady flow of history. (NS)
