It has an opportunity for us to \u201cre-read\u201d the beginning with the prism of what we have just learned in Hebrews.<\/li>\n<li>Genesis begins with a focus on the phases of Creation and how good it was. After the creation of light and its separation from darkness, after the creation of the sky and the earth, after the creation of the waters from land, after the creation of vegetation and fruit, after the creation of the Sun and the moon and the stars, Genesis says \u201cGod saw how good it was.\u201d Tomorrow we\u2019ll continue seeing this goodness in the creation of the creatures of the sea and the animals, which likewise were good, and arrive at the culmination of the human person whom God saw was \u201cvery good.\u201d\u00a0The goodness of creation leads us to exclaim in the Psalm, \u201cMay the Lord be glad in his works!\u201d It ponders the earth, the ocean, the mountains, the streams, the wind, the mountains, the birds, the trees, and then exults, \u201cHow manifold are your works, O Lord!\u00a0In wisdom you have wrought them all\u2014\u00a0the earth is full of your creatures;\u00a0Bless the Lord, O my soul!\u201d How important it is for us spiritually to enter into a hymn of praise for the essential goodness of creation!<\/li>\n<li>In the Gospel, however, we see the breakdown. It\u2019s a corruption of that goodness we\u2019ll see on Friday with the account of the original sin of Eve and Adam. Even though creation was ontologically good, moral evil entered. And that brought about a disharmony that was never originally intended. It partially ruptured the communion that was meant to exist between creatures and God, between creatures and each other, within creatures themselves, and within all of creation. That breakdown caused by sin was the source of the introduction of illnesses and what they lead to, death. We get a glimpse of that pain and suffering in the Gospel. As Jesus disembarked in Gennesaret, \u201cpeople immediately recognized him.\u00a0They scurried about the surrounding country\u00a0and began to bring in the sick on mats\u00a0to wherever they heard he was.\u00a0Whatever villages or towns or countryside he entered,\u00a0they laid the sick in the marketplaces\u00a0and begged him that they might touch only the tassel on his cloak.\u201d Such enormous pain and suffering! It was like whole towns were hospital wards. And they came to the Divine Physician. They must have heard about the miracle of the woman with the hemorrhage who was cured of her 12-year illness by touching the edge of his garment because St. Mark tells us that they were all trying to touch even the tassel of his cloak\u00a0with faith and that as many as touched it\u00a0were healed.<\/li>\n<li>There was a tremendous physical transformation that points to an even greater spiritual one. Jesus\u2019 physical healings \u2014 as well as his preaching and all of his other miracles \u2014 were all signs of a deeper spiritual one he was accomplishing, the redemption of the world. This is something that should fill us with wonder and gratitude.\u00a0Every Christmas morning we ponder that\u00a0Jesus came into the world not just to restore the goodness of creation but to redeem and surpass it. In Latin, we pray, \u201c<em>Deus, qui humanae substantiae dignitatem mirabiliter condidisti et mirabilius reformasti,<\/em>\u201d which means, \u201cO God, you who wondrously created the dignity of human substance\u00a0and even more wondrously reformed it.\u201d These are words that have traditionally been said by the priest quietly\u00a0at Mass at the offertory as he prepares the chalice, as he prays that we might enter fully into that wondrous reform: \u201c<em>da nobis per huius aquae et vini mysterium, eius divinitatis esse consortes, qui humanitatis nostrae fieri dignatus est particeps.\u201d<\/em>(\u201cGrant us, by the mystery of this water and wine to become shares of the divinity of him who humbled himself to become a participant of our humanity.\u201d). That\u2019s what God does coming into the world. He wants not just to restore us but to raise us beyond where we were before. He wants not to recreate us in his image but conform us to his likeness by yoking ourselves to him in all his holiness. If in creation we praise the Lord and pray that he be glad in all of his works, how much more must we sing his praises for redemption?<\/li>\n<li>Today the Church celebrates the feast of St. Paul Miki and his 25 Companion Martyrs, who were\u00a0crucified in Japan in 1597. It&#8217;s an opportunity for us to praise God for the redemption that sustained them with hope even in the midst of their persecution, the tortures they suffered, and their martyrdoms. They were the first of the nearly 35,000 Japanese converts who died heroically for the faith between 1597-1639.\u00a0Because the imperial minister Toyotomi Hideyoski feared that missionaries from the Philippines were actually Spanish insurgents seeking to overthrow Japan, he responded by sentencing these 26 Catholics \u2014 3 native Jesuits, 17 lay Catholics including children and six \u00a0Franciscan missionaries \u2014 to death by crucifixion. They were marched an unbelievable 600 miles to Nagasaki, suffering so many indignities and tortures along the way to try to frighten any Japanese from seeking to convert to Christianity, but even in the midst of torture, they sang a <em>Te Deum<\/em> to God. When they were being crucified, they had their last opportunity to evangelize those who were present for the spectacle, and they didn\u2019t miss their chance. In the most powerful pulpit of his life, St. Paul Miki gave his last will and testament: \u201cThe sentence of judgment says these men came to Japan from the Philippines, but I did not come from any other country. I am a true Japanese. The only reason for my being killed is that I have taught the doctrine of Christ. I certainly did teach the doctrine of Christ. I thank God it is for this reason I die. I believe that I am telling only the truth before I die. I know you believe me and I want to say to you all once again: Ask Christ to help you to become happy. I obey Christ. After Christ\u2019s example I forgive my persecutors. I do not hate them. I ask God to have pity on all, and I hope my blood will fall on my fellow men as a fruitful rain.\u201d God had blessed the Japanese with many natural virtues. But he was blessing them with something far greater in the redemption, and that\u2019s a treasure not only that they would never give up but that they wanted others to have. This greatness of the \u201cmore wondrous\u201d redemption is captured by today\u2019s opening prayer: \u201cO God, strength of all the saints, who through the Cross were pleased to call the Martyrs Saint Paul Miki and companions to life\u2026.\u201d The Cross, a sign of death, of suffering, of sin, was transformed into a Tree not just of life, but of eternal life. We see in their martyrdom the surpassing of creation in all its starkness, as they enter full into the Paschal Mystery of death and resurrection.<\/li>\n<li>Each day at Mass, we come to praise the Lord\u2019s wisdom in all his works. We sorrowfully call to mind the ways we and others haven\u2019t lived up, in our thoughts, words, actions and omissions, to the dignity of our being created very good and beg his mercy, and then we come asking him to make us sharers in the recreation of redemption he came into the world to inaugurate. The offertory symbolizes what we do, taking the good fruit of the earth \u2014 grain and grapes \u2014 and subduing them by the work of human hands and offering them as the matter that he will take to work this miracle, taking what\u2019s good and making it truly wonderful and the source of our continued redemption. This is the miracle\u00a0that made St. Paul Miki and his companions courageous until the end. May we, like them,\u00a0become sharers in the divinity of him we\u2019re about to receive who out of love lowered himself to take on our humanity and take all our sins against the goodness of the created order away, and recreate something even more wonderful. May all of us who touch him on the inside today be healed!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>The readings for today\u2019s Mass were:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"bibleReadingsWrapper\">\n<h4>Reading 1\u00a0<a id=\"\/bible\/genesis\/1:1|\" href=\"http:\/\/usccb.us8.list-manage1.com\/track\/click?u=b927174dbe854683d4b527f98&amp;id=c4a985b147&amp;e=b55e3798ee\">Gn 1:1-19<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"poetry\">In the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth,<br \/>\nthe earth was a formless wasteland, and darkness covered the abyss,<br \/>\nwhile a mighty wind swept over the waters.Then God said,<br \/>\n\u201cLet there be light,\u201d and there was light.<br \/>\nGod saw how good the light was.<br \/>\nGod then separated the light from the darkness.<br \/>\nGod called the light \u201cday,\u201d and the darkness he called \u201cnight.\u201d<br \/>\nThus evening came, and morning followed\u2013the first day.Then God said,<br \/>\n\u201cLet there be a dome in the middle of the waters,<br \/>\nto separate one body of water from the other.\u201d<br \/>\nAnd so it happened:<br \/>\nGod made the dome,<br \/>\nand it separated the water above the dome from the water below it.<br \/>\nGod called the dome \u201cthe sky.\u201d<br \/>\nEvening came, and morning followed\u2013the second day.Then God said,<br \/>\n\u201cLet the water under the sky be gathered into a single basin,<br \/>\nso that the dry land may appear.\u201d<br \/>\nAnd so it happened:<br \/>\nthe water under the sky was gathered into its basin,<br \/>\nand the dry land appeared.<br \/>\nGod called the dry land \u201cthe earth,\u201d<br \/>\nand the basin of the water he called \u201cthe sea.\u201d<br \/>\nGod saw how good it was.<br \/>\nThen God said,<br \/>\n\u201cLet the earth bring forth vegetation:<br \/>\nevery kind of plant that bears seed<br \/>\nand every kind of fruit tree on earth<br \/>\nthat bears fruit with its seed in it.\u201d<br \/>\nAnd so it happened:<br \/>\nthe earth brought forth every kind of plant that bears seed<br \/>\nand every kind of fruit tree on earth that<br \/>\nbears fruit with its seed in it.<br \/>\nGod saw how good it was.<br \/>\nEvening came, and morning followed\u2013the third day.Then God said:<br \/>\n\u201cLet there be lights in the dome of the sky,<br \/>\nto separate day from night.<br \/>\nLet them mark the fixed times, the days and the years,<br \/>\nand serve as luminaries in the dome of the sky,<br \/>\nto shed light upon the earth.\u201d<br \/>\nAnd so it happened:<br \/>\nGod made the two great lights,<br \/>\nthe greater one to govern the day,<br \/>\nand the lesser one to govern the night;<br \/>\nand he made the stars.<br \/>\nGod set them in the dome of the sky,<br \/>\nto shed light upon the earth,<br \/>\nto govern the day and the night,<br \/>\nand to separate the light from the darkness.<br \/>\nGod saw how good it was.<br \/>\nEvening came, and morning followed\u2013the fourth day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bibleReadingsWrapper\">\n<h4>Responsorial Psalm\u00a0<a id=\"\/bible\/psalms\/104:1|\" href=\"http:\/\/usccb.us8.list-manage2.com\/track\/click?u=b927174dbe854683d4b527f98&amp;id=5c8f5ad19a&amp;e=b55e3798ee\">Ps 104:1-2a, 5-6, 10 and 12, 24 and 35c<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"poetry\">R.
