Last week we talked about the the garden of Eden.\u00a0 I read the story of creation, Adam and Eve and the temptation of Eve and Adam with the fruit. Because of the disobedience of Adam and Eve, they must die. BIBLE– the first book: Genesis 1, 2, and 3. (http:\/\/www.usccb.org\/bible\/genesis\/1<\/a>) We also listened to the song “Adam, Adam Where are you?<\/a>” In the song, it talks about the deception of the Devil and how God still calls Adam back to Himself.\u00a0 God still searches for each one of us despite our sins. Because we have separated ourselves from God, (through sin), we can not hear Him very well.<\/p>\n He still talks to us:<\/p>\n Because there is sin in the world, we live on earth and someday we will die.\u00a0 But God provides us a way to save ourselves\/our souls.\u00a0 In the Old Testament, they sacrificed an animal or food on an altar for a person\u2019s sins. In the New Testament, \u00a0Jesus is our sacrifice on the cross. \u00a0We also offer the \u201dsacrifice of the Mass\u201d for the forgiveness of sins.

\nThen I saw standing in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures and the elders, a Lamb that seemed to have been slain. He had seven horns and seven eyes; these are the [seven] spirits of God sent out into the whole world.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWorthy are you to receive the scroll
\nand to break open its seals,
\nfor you were slain and with your blood you purchased for God
\nthose from every tribe and tongue, people and nation.”<\/p>\n
\nLamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, Have mercy on us
\nLamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, Grant us Peace.
