It seems to me that I can only truly be sincere in my thoughts and very being when I am in a state of sin. I hate it when my deeds deny the truth that I claim to believe. 

The first reading explains the origins of Sin and the task that our Creator sets for us. Being alive is a great thing and there is so much in this world for us  to delight in.We are free beings able to act as we will but we are not ultimate beings who will last for ever. The very first rule given to Adam was broken and he became aware of his nakedness in the sight of God. He tried to hide and we still cannot hide anything from the sight of God.

The knowledge of the purpose for our being which, forgotten by our ancestors, has been revealed over the millennia and is to be found in the Scriptures. We are always to be aware that we are the beloved of Our Father who has known us all for all Eternity and to erase the Sin of his first man he has himself as Son emptied himself of his Being and become a complete human, Jesus.

Mary is the only human since Adam and Eve to have been conceived in the human way but with a body and soul completely untouched by Sin. Jesus is thus God, the perfection of being and man in the  perfect created humanity of his sinlessness. 

Dear Lord you know the weakness of my being and the atonement in my heart. Yet again, let me appeal to your boundless mercy. May Mary, Full of Grace, who sees only the wounds of sin inflicted on the body of her Son continue the task that she accepted to pray for your people here on earth and those Holy Souls who are awaiting your final judgement.
