Our Lord's Mediatorship puts us in a better position than before the fall. Sin broke the bond that connects man to God and Christ's superabundant satisfaction merits not only the cancellation of our debt to God but Our supernatural elevation into the very bosom of the Trinity, made possible thanks to the mystery of the Incarnation. That is why the Church, at the Easter Vigil, will talk about the "Happy Fault". Since the Incarnation, grace is more natural to us than before the fall. And all of this because the Word was made Flesh and gave His Life for us.

Sermon by Fr. John Brucciani, given on Passion Sunday, 22 March 2026.
