FIRST READING 

"I am going to erase from the surface of the ground the men that I have created" 

from the book of Genesis (6, 5-8; 7, 1-5.10) 

The Lord saw that man's wickedness was great on earth, and that all the thoughts of his heart were directed toward evil all day long. The Lord repented of having made man on earth; he was irritated in his heart and he said: "I will wipe from the face of the ground the men whom I have created - and not only the men but also the cattle, the bugs and the birds of the sky - for I repent. to have made them. "

But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. The Lord said to Noah, “Enter into the ark, you and all your family, for I have seen that in this generation, before me, you are righteous. Of all the clean animals you will take seven males and seven females; of the animals which are not clean you will take two, a male and a female; and likewise the birds of the air, seven males and seven females, so that their race may continue to live on the face of the earth. Seven more days, indeed, and I will cause rain to fall on the earth, for forty days and forty nights; I will erase from the surface of the ground all the beings that I have made. Noah did everything the Lord commanded him.

Seven days later, the waters of the Flood were on the earth. 

The Word of the Lord.
