O happy fault which gained for us so great a Redeemer.  What a great attitude to have when we see things in the world that we cannot understand.  When we witness horrific things and hear the “how can a loving God allow this”.  Christ’s sacrifice gave us the opportunity not to get back to where Adam and Eve were, but to go beyond that.  We have the opportunity to receive graces beyond what was taken away by the Devil’s envy.  When we think about God making good out of bad, that is His biggest “Good out of Bad”.  When the fall happened, God told them right after that He would set things right.  When people ask the question why did God allow the Fall, we see the answer in these paragraphs.  He allows free will, He cannot receive true love without it, and even with the Fall, He created a way to bring us even closer to Him through Christ.  What a gift and miracle Christ is.    O happy fault which gained for us so great a Redeemer.
