The Word that formed us from the dust is the same Word who raises the dead and orders the angels—and in today’s readings, we see the sweeping unity of God’s creative, restorative, and hierarchical work from Eden to eternity (Isaiah 26:19; Ezekiel 37:5; Jeremiah 1:5; John 9:7; Matthew 9:6).

Readings: Irenaeus, Against Heresies, Book 5, Chapters 15–17

Augustine, The Confessions, Book 11, Chapter 27 (Section 34)

Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, Part 1, Question 108
