If we live in the light revealed by the Scriptures it is possible to live without sin. The light of the Scriptures is the Truth and the sinless Way revealed by Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We can as humans investigate the material  Universe. We have learnt many facts about Matter. We can cure disease, we can go to the moon, we can breath underwater. We can manipulate the genetic matter of our own bodies. These are scientific facts but they are not God's Truth.

If we live only in the Facts of Matter there is no Truth in us. All of our "Facts"can be completely destroyed as time passes. The abilities of the wonder of Artificial Intelligence can not last an assault by Atomic weapons for it too is a physical Fact. Only God is Truth. Father Son and Holy Spirit has no beginning or end. 

The Facts of our being are not only physical. God has created for us each a soul which has Freedom. A free will which can compare Facts and Truth. Our will is not only free but it is supported by God's revelation of himself. Jesus is a Fact of History. He and Mary are both Fact and Truth. The Eternal Word, the Truth, is incarnate in the flesh of Mary a created Fact. 

Adam, Eve, Mary and Jesus are the only Humans in whom there is no sin at birth. St. John is writing inspired by "The Holy Spirit" to stop us from sinning and to teach that when we do sin we must remember that Jesus died in bitter pain to open up the floodgates of God's Mercy. In St Mathew's Gospel we "the little children" are gathered in by the wounded and loving arms of the Fact of God on Earth and we are comforted by Truth.  

"Shoulder my yoke and learn from me for I am humble and gentle of heart. Yes, my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Dear Lord let my being be always open to your Mercy. Let me not deceive myself for my sins are the nails that pierce your real body, a physical Fact as much as is my own. May Mary whose physical body nurtured the growth of your body in our world of matter, continue in the the presence of Father, Son and Holy Spirit to lead St Catherine and all the Saints in worship and in pleading for your Mercy to be showered down onto sinners both on earth and in Purgatory.
