Have you ever meditated on the significance of the type of trees that may have grown in the Garden of Eden? In this episode, Lisa suggests that they might give us further insight into the loving heart of Our Heavenly Father. Discussing the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, Lisa makes the point that God wanted Adam and Eve to grow in virtue, to emulate his attributes, and to use their free will to love freely. But what happens when we use our free will to oppose God? Lisa discusses the fall of some of the angels, the cunning serpent that tempted Adam and Eve to doubt the goodness of God, the consequences of their sins, and how Our Heavenly Father had a plan for our redemption from the beginning. With a thorough discussion of the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit, Lisa makes the point that we have all we need to grow in virtue and concludes with a discussion of how the Eucharist is meant to strengthen us on this journey. The information about angels of which she speaks was gathered and taught by Dr. Mark Miravalle through a Lighthouse Catholic Media CD called "Angels Explained: What You Should Know About the Nine Choirs."
