"If faith is like a seed, then a sunflower in full bloom is its manifestation. A sunflower “arises” and grows taller than all the other flowers. When it feels the heat from the sky, it turns its head towards the sun and completely opens itself to its rays. The sunflower symbolizes ourselves when we recognize the Light of Christ and are turned continually in His direction. We should be like the sunflower and grow, and arise, and use God’s light to shine. The Light of Christ helps us to be our best, to rise above the world and to blossom so all the earth can see where true beauty comes from."
