*Sacred Scripture* Animals Entering Noah’s Ark – Bassano

January 16

The Lord tells Noah to build an Ark and put one male and one female of each type of animal onto the boat before He floods the earth with the Great Flood. This is a depiction of Noah’s family following God’s commands in preparing for the Flood, by the artist J. Bassano.

Gn 7:1-5

1Then the LORD said to Noah: Go into the ark, you and all your household, for you alone in this generation have I found to be righteous before me.a

2Of every clean animal, take with you seven pairs, a male and its mate; and of the unclean animals, one pair, a male and its mate;

3likewise, of every bird of the air, seven pairs, a male and a female, to keep their progeny alive over all the earth.

4For seven days from now I will bring rain down on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and so I will wipe out from the face of the earth every being that I have made.b

5Noah complied, just as the LORD had commanded.

Saying the holy name of Jesus is the simplest way of praying always.

1-A prayer from Raphael the Archangel:

*While you are on this earth, you must praise the Lord God and give him thanks.

2-A prayer from Tobit and Tobias:

*They began to sing hymns of praise, giving thanks for all the mighty deeds God had done while his angel Raphael had been with them.

3-A simple Jesus prayer:

*Lord, Lord, Jesus Christ…Son of God…have mercy on me…Be kind to others…Work Hard…Be joyful.

4-Another prayer:

*When all that God asks of us is to be quiet and keep ourselves at peace-attentive to the secret work He is beginning in our souls-Be Empty and See That I Am God.

I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever. Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever.

Ps 145:1–2
