The first man was not only created good, but was also established in friendship with his Creator and in harmony with himself and with the creation around him, in a state that would be surpassed only by the glory of the new creation in Christ.Reflection: There are three relationships mentioned here: man with God, with self, and with others. In paradise, all three were in perfect harmony. Our Christian life calls us to restore that harmony.
- CCC No. 374
Prayer: Father, help us to live a life of piety, honesty, and justice, that we may know true peace.
