Quote by Christoph Schönborn

“The variety of creatures is the multiform expression of the goodness of God. This has one fundamental consequence: as a result of belief in creation, creatures are to be seen in a positive light. At one place in the Book of Wisdom, it says, “ Thou hast loathing for none of the things which thou hast made” (Wis 11:24). All creatures have their own value, their own kind of rightness. Every creature, whether it be a star or a stone, a plant or a tree, an animal or a human being, reflects the perfection and the goodness of God in its own particular fashion. They all have their own value and likewise their own effect on the world.”
