- Stewardship and Creation-Catholics understand that just as plants are entrusted to us for food(Genesis 1:29), God is entrusting humanity with a special responsibility to care for the creation which He had declared to be good
- Genesis 2
- Imago Dei and the Sanctity of life-(Genesis 2:7) Adam is created as a groundling from the earth.BUT God breathes into his nostrils and this groundling receives a soul, which is its living principle and represents the sanctity of life, which ultimately belongs to God alone. Like the spark in Michelangelo's painting, this inspired parable implies that there is something earthly about us but also something divine.
- Human Dignity and Freedom-The parable continues with God bestowing freedom, a special dignity onto the divine groundling, which is granted a choice to obey or disobey the command related to the Tree of Life and the Tree of knowledge in the middle of the garden (2:17). Through Gods benevolence He is concerned that 'it is not good for Adam to be alone' and therefore makes various animals as his companions(Genesis 2:18) allowing him the freedom to name them, and Adam has surpassed dignity, as he is respectful of creatures, but at liberty to take authority over them(2:20) 'A helper just like him'. Humans are unique
- Stewardship and Creation-Genesis 2:5 depicts us as partners with God in the care of Creation, and that our first call is to be gardeners! The story then continues with God planting Eden, with every kind of tree and fruit, which captures the idea of the the goodness of creation and God's benevolence.
