First Reading
Genesis 3:9-15, 20
Read this as the first big movement of the day. Notice what God is doing, who is speaking, and what part of the story or teaching should stay with you.
9And the Lord God called Adam, and said to him: Where art you?
10And he said: I heard your voice in paradise; and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.
11And he said to him: And who has told you that you were naked, but that you have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?
12And Adam said: The woman, whom you gavest me to be my companion, gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13And the Lord God said to the woman: Why have you done this? And she answered: The serpent deceived me, and I did eat.
14And the Lord God said to the serpent: Because you have done this thing, you art cursed among all cattle, and the beasts of the earth: upon your breast shall you go, and earth shall you eat all the days of your life.
15I will put enmities between you and the woman, and your offspring and her offspring: she shall crush your head, and you shall lie in wait for her heel.
20And Adam called the name of his wife Eve: because she was the mother of all the living.
