Awakenings —Adult Faith Formation: “The man called his wife Eve, because she became the mother of all the living.) (Gn 3: 20)

Humankind – in the Image and Likeness of God: The image of the Most Holy Trinity in human community is the natural unity of human community that exists within the communion of the love between Adam and Eve. Complementing one another physically, psychologically, and spiritually, Adam and Eve are different, but at the same time, equal persons. In the wonderful image of Eve’s creation from the “rib of Adam” (Gn 2:21), Holy Scripture describes the quality and the difference between the man and the woman, who form the first community. Adam professes Eve to be his own: “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one shall be called Woman” (Gn 2:23). Adam embraces Eve as a person, his equal and simultaneously his companion for life. (Gn 2:24). (Christ Our Pascha, 133-134)
