SATURDAY WEEK 5 IN ORDINARY

We hear today the reading form the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible. It is about our parents who failed God in the Garden of Eden. Is the garden a real place? Where was it then?

“Even for those who are not Christian, the words “Garden of Eden” have become synonymous with a sort of paradise on Earth. In fact, the name in Aramaic means “fruitful, well-watered” and the Hebrew term is even defined as “pleasure.” But what do we really know about this place where God created the first man, Adam, and the first woman, Eve.”
