Wednesday – 5th Week in Ordinary Time C
My dear brothers and sisters, may the Lord give you his peace as we begin our reflection today. In our readings from Genesis and the Gospel of Mark, we catch again another tiny glimpse into the eternal heart of God and the concern he has always shown us, his precious, treasured creation. For God created all things good, but with man he showed particular charity and adorned him with gifts beyond any other living creature. In his care for man, God set parameters, limits, and rules that would govern his well-being. We get a glimpse of this in the reading from Genesis with things he could eat and enjoy in the garden of Eden, and those things God asked him to refrain from for his own good.
