The specific context was about leaven when he warned them about the leaven \u2014 the corrosive teaching and example \u2014 on the one hand of the rigorist Pharisees and on the other the laxist Herodians. He wanted, rather, the leaven of faith (Mt 13:33), that a tiny bit of faith when placed in the \u201cdough\u201d of God\u2019s power was able to accomplish great things. Jesus showed what a little bit of this leaven could do in the two miracles of the multiplication of the loaves and fish. He wants us to trust that with faith the size of a mustard seed we could move mountains, with some water in jars at a wedding we could have wine, with 12 relative nobodies we could have a message go out to all of the world.\u00a0\u201cDo you still not understand?,\u201d he asks.<\/li>\n<li>Noah in today\u2019s first reading is a sign of this leaven of faith. God asks Noah to build a huge ark and to do so, not in a big ship building yard but in the middle of nowhere, far from the ocean. The dimensions of the ark \u2014 300 x 50 x 30 cubits, with a cubit being 18 inches or half a yard \u2014 were huge and would have taken some time to build. For weeks and months, people around him must have thought he was nuts. Imagine trying to build the Queen Elizabeth II on a farm in Iowa or up in the Rocky Mountains, far from water. But Noah trusted in the Lord and built. With\u00a0his faith in God, he was the leaven for the renewal of creation.\u00a0God always starts small and builds. We see that with the Israelites, with the tribe of Judah within God\u2019s people, with the \u201cremnant,\u201d ultimately with Mary and Joseph, and then the apostles. Many get corrupted by the leaven of the world or pseudo-religion. God always looks for the leaven of faith.<\/li>\n<li>As the Fathers of the Church were accustomed to preach, the Church is meant to function as Noah\u2019s Ark, bringing everybody to salvation on the barque of Peter despite the storms of life on the water. The \u201cnave\u201d or central aisle of a Church is named because the Church is meant to be the \u201cnavis\u201d or ship like the ark as a means of rescue. Christ is like Noah on that ark of Peter.<\/li>\n<li>We see that in God\u2019s plan of salvation on the ark he brought not just individuals, not just random people and animals, but heterosexual pairs. As God instructed, &#8220;Of all other living creatures you shall bring two into the ark, one male and one female, that you may keep them alive with you&#8221; (Gen 6:19). The reason is somewhat obvious, for the re-propagation of the various species. But it also brings us back to the beginning of Creation, which we heard about last week, that it is not good for man to be alone and God created not just the animals for him but a &#8220;fitting helper,&#8221; not a twin, but a woman, with whom he could image God. On this St. Valentine&#8217;s Day, this points\u00a0to the importance of marriage for the renewal of the world after the devil tries to destroy Adam\u2019s and Eve\u2019s bond and every other. Married couples are called through the Sacrament of Marriage to help each other onto the ark as it heads toward the eternal shore.<\/li>\n<li>But it\u2019s not just married pairs that are part of salvation. God sent out the first disciples two-by-two even though they could have covered far more ground going out singly. The reason, however, is so that they could announce the good news by how they lived it, loving each other, forgiving each other, correcting each other, helping each other to trust in God\u2019s providence and so much more. Today the Church celebrates one of the most fruitful pairs in Church history, two brothers in blood and in spirit who brought whole nations in the Slavic world onto God\u2019s ark: SS. Cyril and Methodius.\u00a0Methodius was a military man, 12 years older, and was highly organized. Cyril was a brilliant scholar. When there was a need to evangelize Moravia, they were asked to go. Together they evangelized the whole region. Methodius had the administrative and political skills to help the mission; Cyril brilliantly invented a new alphabet to be able to be able to write the Bible and liturgical texts in the language of the people and lead people more effectively in prayer. They couldn\u2019t have really succeeded without the other, not just because their God-given talents complemented each other, but because of the simple, evangelical and human fraternity they had, which allowed them to endure the many trials they had, both physical and ecclesiastical, with perseverance. Cyril died while visiting Rome and his remains are enshrined in the Church of the fourth Pope, St. Clement, whose relics the two brothers had discovered and brought with them to Rome. They were elevated by St. John Paul II in 1980 to be co-patrons with St. Benedict of Europe, because they are considered great patrons of Eastern Christianity. St. John Paul II recognized that for the Church to be what God wants it to be, East and West must help each other, the Church must pray with both lungs, we must work together like Cyril and Methodius, we must complement each other to be effective leaven to bring about Church communion. John Paul II wrote in <em>Slavorum Apostoli<\/em> (1985): \u201cEver since the ninth century, when in Christian Europe a new organization was emerging, Saints Cyril and Methodius have held out to us a message clearly of great relevance for our own age, which precisely by reason of the many complex problems of a religious, cultural, civil and international nature, is seeking a vital unity in the real communion of its various elements. It can be said of the two evangelizers that characteristic of them was their love for the communion of the universal Church both in the East and in the West, and, within the universal Church, love for the particular Church that was coming into being in the Slav nations. From them also comes for the Christians and-people of our time the invitation to build communion together. \u2026\u00a0Cyril and Methodius are as it were the connecting links or spiritual bridge between the Eastern and Western traditions, which both come together in the one great Tradition of the universal Church. For us they are the champions and also the patrons of the ecumenical endeavor of the sister Churches of East and West, for the rediscovery through prayer and dialogue of visible Unity in perfect and total communion, \u2018the unity which,\u2019 \u2026\u2018is neither absorption nor fusion.\u2019 Unity is a meeting in truth and love, granted to us by the Spirit. Cyril and Methodius, in their personality and their work, are figures that awaken in all Christians a great \u2018longing for union\u2019 and for unity between the two sister Churches of East and West.\u201d\u00a0Today we ask their intercession to help unite East and West in the Church, so that we can more effectively give witness to God\u2019s plan of unity and salvation, and serve as much needed leaven for the world.<\/li>\n<li>Today at Mass, God does something greater than the miracle of the multiplications of loaves and fish and greater than the flood. He gives us himself as our food. He wants us to respond to this gift with faith like SS. Cyril and Methodius, to understand what he\u2019s asking, and to help others similarly to become with us this leaven, as we continue to head with Christ toward the eternal shore.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>The readings for today\u2019s Mass were:<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"bibleReadingsWrapper\">\n<h4>Reading 1\u00a0<a id=\"\/bible\/genesis\/6:5|\" href=\"http:\/\/usccb.us8.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=b927174dbe854683d4b527f98&amp;id=673dd34801&amp;e=b55e3798ee\">Gn 6:5-8; 7:1-5, 10<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"poetry\">When the LORD saw how great was man\u2019s wickedness on earth,<br \/>\nand how no desire that his heart conceived<br \/>\nwas ever anything but evil,<br \/>\nhe regretted that he had made man on the earth,<br \/>\nand his heart was grieved.<\/div>\n<div class=\"poetry\">So the LORD said:<br \/>\n\u201cI will wipe out from the earth the men whom I have created,<br \/>\nand not only the men,<br \/>\nbut also the beasts and the creeping things and the birds of the air,<br \/>\nfor I am sorry that I made them.\u201d<br \/>\nBut Noah found favor with the LORD.<\/div>\n<div class=\"poetry\">Then the LORD said to Noah:<br \/>\n\u201cGo into the ark, you and all your household,<br \/>\nfor you alone in this age have I found to be truly just.<br \/>\nOf every clean animal, take with you seven pairs,<br \/>\na male and its mate;<br \/>\nand of the unclean animals, one pair,<br \/>\na male and its mate;<br \/>\nlikewise, of every clean bird of the air, seven pairs,<br \/>\na male and a female,<br \/>\nand of all the unclean birds, one pair,<br \/>\na male and a female.<br \/>\nThus you will keep their issue alive over all the earth.<br \/>\nSeven days from now I will bring rain down on the earth<br \/>\nfor forty days and forty nights,<br \/>\nand so I will wipe out from the surface of the earth<br \/>\nevery moving creature that I have made.\u201d<br \/>\nNoah did just as the LORD had commanded him.<br \/>\nAs soon as the seven days were over,<br \/>\nthe waters of the flood came upon the earth.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bibleReadingsWrapper\">\n<h4>Responsorial Psalm\u00a0<a id=\"\/bible\/psalms\/29:1|\" href=\"http:\/\/usccb.us8.list-manage1.com\/track\/click?u=b927174dbe854683d4b527f98&amp;id=a1bbd0a674&amp;e=b55e3798ee\">Ps 29:1a and 2, 3ac-4, 3b and 9c-10<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"poetry\">R.
