Please read this passage before reading the homily.
It is shortly after the man, Adam, had eaten of the tree, that God called the man to account for his actions. Nowhere does God speak of sin; God speaks of disobedience.
The result of the disobedience will be expulsion from the garden, but that is not a final result. Egyptians will expel the Israelites from Egypt. The Babylonians will expel the Israelites from the Promised Land. Cyrus the Persin will allow them to return to the Promised Land. The parents of Jesus will find themselves expelled from their home, and Jesus will be expelled from the city and dies by crucifixion.
The final result is life. There may be struggle within families. There may be struggles between humans and nature. There may be hard times of droughts and war, but the end is not death, but life. The man called his wife Eve because she came to mother of all the living.
All this is deep mystery, something the ancients called mythology as they tried to explain creation, sin, redemption and eternal life. So, Adam, the first Man, was created in the image of the Second Adam, the Christ. This Christ, by his obedience and death gives life to all. The first Adam gives way to the Second, and the first Eve give way to Second Eve, the Mother of the Second Adam.
