At the beginning God creates heaven and earth
At the beginning God creates heaven and earth At the beginning God created Heaven and Earth. He always thought to us all and He wanted to create the world, driven by His great love. As a father and a mother who prepare everything for the birth of their child, in the same way God prepared a big house for us all. At the beginning the Earth was still desert and the light was missing. What is in the draw? A volcano… But God didn’t want to leave it like that. Little by little He made everything beautiful, for you, for each of us, to make us happy. God said: “Let there be light!” And light appeared. God saw that the light was beautiful and separated the light form the darkness. God called the light “Day” and the darkness “Night”. God said: “Let there be a big vault! Let it divide all the waters.” And so it happened. God called the big vault “Sky”. God said: “Let the waters below the sky be gathered together in only one place and let dryness appear.” So he puts all the water together and all the land together: much water, much land. God called the dryness “Land” and the waters “Sea”. And God saw that it was a good thing. God said: “Let the land be covered by green, and let it make many plants, many flowers and trees grow.” Tree that are little at first, but with the life inside that makes them grow. How are the waters below called? They are the seas, the oceans…. And how about the waters above? They are the clouds that bring water everywhere, to whom needs it Then they become bigger and bigger, with strong branches and many green leaves. Fruits grow on the trees What does it come up from the seed? and everyone has its seed. And God saw that it was a good thing. God said: “Let there be lights in the vault of heaven, in order to distinguish the day from the night.” And so it happened. God made two big lights: the bigger one for the day – the Sun. It was a big and warm light. Have you ever observed how the moon changes its face? Do you know that all the stars move? They follow the way that God marked for them… Then God made a smaller light for the night – the Moon. And then He made the stars. And God saw that everything was good. But the seas and the rivers’ water was still empty. So God said: “Let the waters produce animals that dart in and let the birds fly on the earth and in the sky.” The sky started to be filled with many birds with colored plumage and in the waters big and small fishes and many other human beings started to swim. God saw it was beautiful and blessed them: “Be fecund, become numerous and fill the sea waters. And let also the birds breed on earth. What species of birds do you know? God said: “Let the land produce various specie of animals: pets, wild animals and those that crawl...” What species of animal do you know? And the land became populated with animals, the most different: huge and tiny, animals that live in small groups or in big peoples, which resist to the ice cold or to the desert hot… God saw that the world was beautiful and welcoming… And God decided to create the men: the most beautiful creatures, those who He loves more. God said: “Let us do the man: let he be similar to us, let he be done to our image. Let us entrust all the creation to him, he will dominate on everything.” God entrust the plants, the animals, the birds of the sky and the fishes of sea to the man and the woman…as a big gift to be loved, to be kept, to be done more and more beautiful. The man and the woman were happy. Everything was so marvelous and they thought: “How much God loves us, He gives all this to us!” God was glad to see that the man and the woman were happy and He would have liked that it was like that forever. God saw everything He created and He saw that it was very good, just as He wanted. God blessed the man and the woman saying: “Let you become numerous and populate the earth.” Then God rested and blessed that day. So God completed heaven and earth and what it is inside: everything was in harmony! and warmness; the trees that give their fruits; the rivers that flow toward the sea to give their waters… Love binds all the things that God created! God is the father of all the man: so, what are we among us / in which relation are we? What are the man and the woman’s names? That day is today called Sunday: it is the day that God gave us to rest, to admire His works and to thank Him! So we also can rejoice and thank. What especially we want to thank for? When we look at the beauty of the nature – the animals, the birds, the fishes and the plants – we remind that God made them for us, because He loves us and we say to him: “Thanks for your love for us” If you follow God, you will be happy!
