Prophecy of Adam and Eve

[shoewindow3000]

have you ever noticed the similarities between Adam & Eve to Christ and the Church?

Adam is married to eve
Church is Bride of Christ

Eve is made from flesh of Adam
*Church is body of Christ
*
God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam to make Eve.
Christ laid down His life to give the Church life.

 

[Cluny]

Many of the Fathers have developed this theme.
