A time to see

“The Noah story in Genesis is not just about how God offered a path out of destruction, but about all that followed. The generation of human society meant a return to respecting limits, curbing the reckless pursuit of wealth and power, looking out for the poor and those living on the edges. The introduction of the Sabbath and the Jubilee - moments of recovery and reparation, forgiving debts and restoring relationships - were key to that regeneration, giving time for the earth to bounce back, for the poor to find fresh hope, for the people to find their souls again.

That is the grace available to us now, the light in the midst of our tribulation. Let us not throw it away.”*

* Let us dream by Pope Francis
