Philip Sherrard
The Rape of Man and Nature1987
The created world is God’s sacrament of Himself to Himself in His creatures: it is the means whereby He is what He is. Were there no creation, then God would be other than He is; and if creation were not sacramental, then God would not be its creator and there would be no question of a sacrament anywere.
