3-31-24 - Nature Reveals the Resurrection Narrative

The readings for the week for Easter Vigil are Genesis 1:1-2:4a and Psalm 136:1-9, 23-26, Genesis 7:1-5, 11-18; 8:6-18; 9:8-13 and Psalm 46, Genesis 22:1-18 and Psalm 16, Exodus 14:10-31; 15:20-21 and Exodus 15:1b-13, 17-18, Isaiah 55:1-11 and Isaiah 12:2-6, Baruch 3:9-15, 3:32-4:4 or Proverbs 8:1-8, 19-21; 9:4b-6 and Psalm 19, Ezekiel 36:24-28 and Psalm 42, 43, Ezekiel 37:1-14 and Psalm 143, Zephaniah 3:14-20 and Psalm 98, Romans 6:3-11 and Psalm 114, and Mark 16:1-8.  The readings for the Resurrection of the Lord are Acts 10:34-43 or Isaiah 25:6-9, Psalm 118:1-2, 14-24, 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 or Acts 10:34-43, and John 20:1-18 or Mark 16:1-8.  The readings for the Easter Evening are Isaiah 25:6-9, Psalm 114, 1 Corinthians 5:6b-8, and Luke 24:13-49.  This week we look at parallels between the Easter narrative and natural phenomena such as solar eclipses and the biological miracle of the American wood frog's survival in extreme conditions.  These are amazing reminders of how we can lose sight of the true miracle of God and yet God still has reminders of this miracle all over for us to discover. Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.

Remember to answer this week's question:

Where do you see the Resurrection on a daily basis?  #FaithandSciPod
