| Summary: | Man is in his fallen state because of his own disobedience. Disobedience springs from pride which, as St Bede says, does its own will. In his pride and disobedience man is separated from God and can only return to him by following the path of virtue, by making reparation through humility and obedience. Christ who came to do the will of his Father is a model for our obedience. Religious obedience is but Christian obedience in the wake of Christ's own, carried to its conclusion by which we are made one with him. |
