Sunday Devotional: From the beginning of creation, God made them male and female

Genesis 2:18-24

The LORD God said: “It is not good for the man to be alone.
I will make a suitable partner for him.”
So the LORD God formed out of the ground
various wild animals and various birds of the air,
and he brought them to the man to see what he would call them;
whatever the man called each of them would be its name.
The man gave names to all the cattle,
all the birds of the air, and all wild animals;
but none proved to be the suitable partner for the man.

So the LORD God cast a deep sleep on the man,
and while he was asleep,
he took out one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh.
The LORD God then built up into a woman the rib
that he had taken from the man.
When he brought her to the man, the man said:
“This one, at last, is bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
this one shall be called ‘woman, ‘
for out of ‘her man’ this one has been taken.”
That is why a man leaves his father and mother
and clings to his wife,
and the two of them become one flesh.

Mark 10:5-9

But Jesus told them,
“Because of the hardness of your hearts
he wrote you this commandment. 
But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female. 
For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother
and be joined to his wife,
and the two shall become one flesh.
So they are no longer two but one flesh. 
Therefore what God has joined together,
no human being must separate.” 

Our Lord said, “But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female.”

Not “male and male,” or “female and female,” or  “she-male and he-male” trangenders.

And yet, as reported by LifeSiteNews, in an airplane interview on September 15, 2021, while ruling out same-sex marriage, Pope Francis expressed his support for civil unions of homosexuals because “we are all equal.” He said: “There are laws that try to help the situations of many people who have a different sexual orientation. If they want to support a homosexual couple in life together, states have the possibility of civilly supporting them.”

Br. Martin Navarro Ob. S.A. warned that the Pope’s support for same-sex unions “is tacitly equating a same-sex union with a family.”

That is why some call Francis the anti-Pope.

May the peace and love of Jesus Christ our Lord be with you,
