the covenant rainbow

Mar 6, 2011

In these days of suffering we savour every sign of hope. This morning soon after 8am, the Old Testament ‘sign of the Covenant’ bowed over Our Lady of Victories and the city.

Some days when a rainbow appears we glance briefly and carry on with our busy lives. Today I knew that this was a very direct sign, intended by God for the people of our city.

God is with us. We have nothing to fear.


“I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.”
Genesis 9:13
