Ordinary 13

Genesis describes relationship of sin to death. As sin increases, life expectancy decreases. Faith is presented as the antidote. Genesis presents sin as damaging relationships: between God and man; between man and woman; between brothers; and between man and the world. The Gospel stories show the personal damage of sin. Faith is still the antidote.
