“And God remembered Noah…”

In this solemn reading from Genesis chapter 8, we hear the moment when God brings the Flood to an end, stills the waters, and restores the earth. The ark comes to rest upon the mountains of Armenia (Ararat), the dove returns with an olive branch, and Noah offers a holocaust pleasing to the Lord. God then makes a promise of mercy to mankind — that the cycles of creation will continue until the end of time.

This passage reveals God’s faithfulness, patience, judgment, and mercy, and prefigures baptism, renewal, and the new creation. Read from the Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible, this chapter is rich in symbolism and deeply relevant to the spiritual life.
