Felix Culpa

Yahweh’s image! The crown of creation!
Did Adam and Eve wish to test their might?
The serpent’s luring words of elation
soon deprived them of the angelic light

Sins of omission and commission thrived.
Friends became foes. Siblings became strangers.
To earn their living, each being strived.
Each day dawned with life-threatening dangers.

The prophets, saints, and martyrs came to save
the fallen humans from the wicked death
and lead them far from the brinks of the grave
Didn't the creation yearn for rebirth?

Weren't these ways paved for the incarnation
to cause, here on earth, true transformation?
