Dominion

In today’s first reading (Genesis 1:20-2:4a), God gives man (male and female) “dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and the cattle, and over all the wild animals and all the creatures that crawl on the ground.”

This grant of dominion is sometimes misunderstood, for God still exercises ultimate dominion: the dominion of man is but stewardship (for which we will be held to account).

How well have you and I been exercising this stewardship?
