About this sermon
What really happened in Genesis 1–3? These opening chapters of Sacred Scripture are not myths, nor science textbooks, but divine revelation—the foundation of the entire story of salvation. In this episode, we walk through Creation, the Fall, and the First Promise of Redemption as the Church has always understood them, drawing deeply from the Church Fathers—St. Irenaeus, St. Augustine, St. Basil the Great, St. John Chrysostom—and the synthesis of St. Thomas Aquinas. 📖 Genesis 1 reveals the goodness of being, creation ex nihilo, and humanity made in the image and likeness of God. 🌿 Genesis 2 shows original justice, the unity of body and soul, the dignity of work, and the divine institution of marriage. 🍎 Genesis 3 explains the nature of original sin, the fall of man, and the shattering of harmony—yet also reveals the Protoevangelium, the first announcement of the Gospel. From Eden to the Cross, from the tree of the fall to the tree of redemption, Genesis already points us to Christ and His Mother. Grace does not destroy nature—it heals and elevates it.
