Catholic Girl on the Radio - Saint John Chrysostom - Genesis 2-25 - Homily 14


Listen Later

Saint Chrysostom first exhorts his listeners to search for the various deep and mysterious meanings of Scripture by reminding them of how ardently divers are engaged in pearling. 2. Then he approaches the explanation of his text, and observes that expression, the Lord God; does not indicate between the Father and the Son, as certain heretics thought, some difference of attribute or of sovereignty. 3. He then remarks that work was imposed on man as a condom against idleness, but that this work was only a gentle occupation, and not a practice. The defense which the Lord made to Adam to eat of the fruit of the tree of the science of good and evil, was to exercise his obedience and to keep him in dependence and submission; and though the woman was not yet created, God understood her in this defense, that Adam might make her known to him afterwards. 4. Regarding the creation of the woman, the speaker observes that here, as in the creation of man, God speaks to his Son, and that he reveals the dignity of the woman by saying that She was formed to be the companion of man. 5. He then explains how Adam named the various animals by an act of authority, as a master names his servants, and. finishes by asking his listeners to remember his instructions.
