Read and reflect on the beginning of the human story on earth as found in The Story of Creation [Genesis 1:1-5, 24-31]
God saw that the light was good. God then separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” Evening came, and morning followed—the first day.
Then God said: Let the earth bring forth every kind of living creature: tame animals, crawling things, and every kind of wild animal. And so, it happened: God made every kind of wild animal, every kind of tame animal, and every kind of thing that crawls on the ground. God saw that it was good.
Then God said: Let us make human beings in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the tame animals, all the wild animals, and all the creatures that crawl on the earth.
God created mankind in his image; in the image of God, he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them and God said to them: Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and all the living things that crawl on the earth.
God also said: See, I give you every seed-bearing plant on all the earth and every tree that has seed-bearing fruit on it to be your food; and to all the wild animals, all the birds of the air, and all the living creatures that crawl on the earth, I give all the green plants for food.
And so, it happened. God looked at everything he had made and found it very good. Evening came, and morning followed—the sixth day.
God made everything GOOD, including you and me, many years ago Fr. Dennis Murphy OSFS, a gentle and loving soul offered this insight, “I see good in you & I choose to help that good grow for your sake.” This Lent look for the good in each person you meet, see that good as a Lenten reminder that God is GOOD, and God made you good.
Saint Joseph, pray for us.
Saint Andre Bessette intercede for us.
May God Be Blessed!
