Thursday – 6th Week in Ordinary Time C
Today, we gather to reflect on the profound relationship between God and humanity, as beautifully outlined in our first reading from Genesis. The story of Noah and the covenant established through the rainbow serves as a critical reminder of God's mercy, His promise to never again destroy the earth with flood, and the beauty of creation that He entrusts to us. The rainbow, as a divine sign of this covenant, speaks of hope, unity, and a call to stewardship of the earth and one another. Yet, we find ourselves in a time when this sacred symbol has seen alternative uses, particularly by movements that seek to redefine relationships and identity in ways that diverge from the teachings of the Church.
