Adam and Eve were created, placed in the earthly paradise, elevated to the supernatural order, and favored with great privileges; they spent time in familiar conversation with God and in expectation of their entrance into eternal beatitude (see Gen 1:4, 25).
May you be blessed, infinite Goodness of God! Besides natural life, you infused the supernatural life of grace in us.
You adopted us as sons and daughters, called to share your own happiness; you overwhelmed us with a free and spontaneous love.
Enlighten me, that I may know the great treasure of your grace.
Glory to God . . .
