sins and so prepare ourselves to celebrate the sacred mysteries with the virtue of the heart of your son and this aflame with his love that conformed to his image remain married to share in eternal redemption through our lord jesus christ your son who lives in veins with you in the unity of the holy spirit one god for ever and ever amen a reading from the book of genesis now the serpent was the most cunning of all the animals that the lord god had made the serpent asked the woman did god really tell you not to eat from any of the trees in the garden the woman answered the serpent we may eat the fruit of the trees in the garden it is only about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden that god said you shall not eat it or even touch it lest you die but the serpent said to the woman you certainly will not die no god knows well that the moment you eat of it your eyes will be opened and he will be like gods who know what is good and what is evil the woman saw that the tree was good for food pleasing to the eyes and desirable for gaining wisdom so she took some of its fruit and ate it and she also gave some to her husband who was with her and he ate it then the eyes of both of them were opened and they realized that they were naked so they sewed fig leaves together and made law and cloths for themselves when they heard the sound of the lord god moving about in the garden  the breezy time of the day the man and his wife hid themselves from the lord god among the trees of the garden the word of the lord thanks peter god bless  the lord be with you reading from the holy gospel according to mark and took him off by himself away from the crowd he put his finger into the man's ears and spitting touched his tongue then he looked up to the heavens and groaned and said to him if  that is be open and immediately the man's ears were opened his speech impediment was removed and he spoke plainly he ordered them not to tell anyone but the more he ordered them not to the more they proclaimed it they were exceedingly astonished and they said he has done all things well the next makes the deaf hear and the mute speak the we continue with the story of genesis looking at the drama that the visible writers put down on paper after many generations and decades and maybe even centuries of oral proclamation of the these stories looking for why things were the way they were and the bottom line for the book of genesis is that in this in a metaphorical d way the biblical writers were trying to say why things are the way they are yesterday we heard why there are men and women why there's a difference and why they're compatible and why they come together as husband and disobedience to god and again the biblical writers would look around themselves and say of course there is disobedience of course there is people there are people that do not do what god wants how did that have come about and so we have today's story of the influence of the seducer the evil devil talking to the woman and she talking to the man and how everything all of a sudden turned around completely because of the disobedience of one person and then the nd person and how evil entered into the world and how the explanation of the metaphor continues to move here more tomorrow about the continuation of this part of genesis that has to do with the origins of the of wife things are the way they are so you and i understand that there is evil in the world we understand there is disobedience to what god wants what we have to do is open the papers all we have to do is look out our windows we can see all sorts of reasons for people to say this is the not the right thing because we understand what god wants us to do so as we listen today to the story of the woman in the man eating the fruit of from the tree that they were forbidden to eat and their disobedience we ask god to help us keep our eyes opened to see good and evil and to them we pray to the lord lord here i
