March 17 would be the first day of the week of the creation unless God went by the full moon then it would be next week. So Adam’s birth or creation day would fall on the 22nd of March, feast of the Seven Sorrows or if next week Good Friday, Ex:12. The reading on Good Friday, Holy Saturday Gen: 1.

March 24 or 25 used to be New Years day until Pope Gregory? changed it to Jan 1. That’s where April fools comes from. Those Catholics that would not change would keep on celebrating it on the 24 or 25 and the celebration went on for 7 or 8 days ending in April. Please don’t ask me where I got all this from, I can’t remember.

I heard this protestant minister? (Dr. Jobe Martin) compare the week of the creation with what our Lord did when He made wine at the wedding. He made that point about how long it takes to make wine, let alone good wine and yet Jesus made it all in an instant. If he could make that wine in an instant, then he could just as easily made the world in a week. Good point I thought. I’ll drink to that.

Oh well there will be enough drinking Sunday as it is, it’s Saint Patrick’s day.
Don’t for get to wear your BLUE for St. Joseph on the 19th. Blue stands for purity.

There isn’t anything in the scriptures that can tell us when God made Eve, or how long they were in the garden of paradise. Thank goodness.

Enjoy, in Christ, Joseph
