Our rainbow

When the dove brought Noah an olive branch everyone on the Ark rejoiced that the flood was over. When the Dove descended upon Jesus at His baptism, John rejoiced because he knew the flood of sin was over, he said, "Behold, the Lamb of God Who takes away the sin of the world!". The first dove was a type, representing the Holy Spirit Who would bring about through the Sacraments, given by Jesus, the end of the flood of sin. The remnants of the flood are still around us everyday. We still step in mud puddles, but the Truth that Jesus is the Lamb of God Who takes away our sin is our eternal hope, the cross is our rainbow.

We are wandering around in the mud looking for olive branches.
