With Easter weekend upon us, I was privileged to be in attendance during the pontiff's visit to my remote campsite, deep in the Mojave National Preserve. I was both surprised and pleased that the liturgical schedule of His Holiness included The Granite Mountains. Upon further reflection, this unique and beautiful geologic formation is indeed a divine creation.
