Angels and Our First Parents

The Chief creatures of God are men and angels Angles are bodiless spirits created to adore and enjoy God in heaven The first man and woman are Adam and Eve Adam and Eve are innocent and holy when they came from the hand of God Adam and Eve did not remain faithful to God Broke God’s command by eating the forbidden fruit Adam and Eve on account of their sin lost innocence and holiness and are doomed to misery and death Through the disobedience of our first parents we all inherit their sin and punishment We should have shared in their happiness if they have remained faithful The Sin which we inherit from our first parents is called Original sin The Blessed Virgin Mother Mary, through the merit of her Divine Son was preserved free from original sin and this privilege is called the Immaculate Conception
