First Reading: Genesis 1: 1-19
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 104
Gospel: Mark 6:53-56
In today's first reading, we hear the beginning of the creation story. There is a common theme that stands out, after each thing that God made it is said that "God saw how good it was." Isn't it interesting that everything that God makes is good? How often do we think about how good all of God's creations are. Now most of us will not doubt how amazing a sunset or sunrise is, most of us will never doubt the beauty of the mountains, and most of us will never call a wonderful blue summer sky a bad thing. But remember, God did not just stop with the sea and the earth, God went on to create something else ... God went on to create man and woman, and God saw the goodness in this creation as well. We must remember that God create us for good, and even if we and the rest of the world do not see the goodness in each other, God does. God does not create bad things, everything that God creates is good. So the question that we must ask ourselves is; are we trying to be the good person that God created us to be?
Father above, we thank you for the gift of this day. We thank you and give you praise for all that we are. Lord, please pass on your healing touch to all those who come to you, all those who are sick and in need of healing. Lord we pray for all those who are in need of conversion, may they be brought to your truth and light. Amen.
