Thursday of week 6 in Ordinary Time
First reading – Genesis 9:1-13
“Here is the sign of the Covenant I make between myself and you and every living creature with you for all generations: I set my bow in the clouds and it shall be a sign of the Covenant between me and the earth”. The Lord is trying to make the world a place of peace by making a Covenant with us. With everyone of us. The sign of the Covenant is in the clouds, in the sky. Sky is accessible to everyone everywhere. God our Lord considers each one of us everywhere in the world as important and He made this covenant with each one of us. A covenant between God and us. This “us” feeling before God is very important. That “us” feeling is the being the “People of God”. This belonging to the People of God is what we lack sometimes. Whatever we do we do under the sky and therefore it has these two dimensions: a dimension towards God and a dimension towards others. Everything we do, we do as a member of the People of God. We do it under the covenant placed in the sky. Let’s reflect: How much am I aware that I belong to the People of God in my daily actions?
