~~~ Saint Scholastica, Virgin ~~~
~~~ GN 1:20—2:4A ~~~ Psalm 8 ~~~ MK 7:1-13 ~~~
God blessed the seventh day and made it holy,
because on it he rested from all the work
he had done in creation.
God was so delighted in all of his creation,
but he was especially with his creation of us...
God created man in his image;
in the divine image he created him;
male and female he created them.
God took so much delight in forming us
that he gave to us his own image.
How can we ever doubt that God loves us?
He created us in his own image...his own image is one of goodness.
God used the seventh day to rest...
to stop the energy of creating...
to step back and gaze upon all that he had created.
God took time to appreciate how the world turned out.
God took time to make sure we were provided for through
his skilled creation of plants that produced their own seeds.
God's creation would continue to bring forth life
for all future generations.
God did not step back on the seventh day to admire
his handiwork he had a plan...
a plan for our future...
a plan to sustain us.
He desired for his goodness to continue for all ages,
so that we would always know just how much he loved us.
In those seven short days God brought into action
the master plan for life itself.
I have seen videos of artists creating a piece
of art in time lapse;
I envision this is how God
created all that we know today
as our world.
The energy of God's creative goodness
is still flowing to us right now.
So Blessed to experience
all that is good
in creation.
~~~ Peace ~~~
