 We should remind that the Paradise tree was both to know the good and the evil. It4s enough for us to eat the apple, let4s try right away the fruit of good, the one which brings to us the lasting happiness! This new Eve, who comes to remind us where to find this precious fruit, is the Blessed Virgin who so sweetly insists on that simple detail for our salvation at Garabandal. The fruit is Jesus. He is everything: Creator, Redimer, Judge, Fruit of our salvation, imcomparable loyal Friend, and King of the Universe. The same way that Satan, the father of evil, offered to us the sin, his filthy fruit, in the Genesis episode, since Our Lord4s birthday, God the Father is offering to us His Son untiringly. In both cases, Eve is the mediator who comes from and is Mother of man, who eats and offers the fruit, and the man, at least in the Genesis episode, trusts on her. At this time of History, when Virgin4s apparitions follow one another in almost alarming way, there are many who mock and jeer at them, what generally makes more difficult the evangelist mission which is restricted to the very little part of christians who are corageous, mad (that means saints), or have nothing to lose. There is no difference between so much God4s mercy and the amazing news we see on TV. It is a little spot of color on the oily canvas which everyday4s news are. Hair-raising catastrophes, incomprenssible murders. Everything leaves us cool. Man is inmunized, acts like a robot. We are used to see incredible special effects on films, to be talked about miracles. That is not the important thing. The important thing is what we could be if we believed. It seems a platitude to say that if everyone were good there would be no problems in the world; but it is true. Miracles are not important by themselves. God can do everything. Not believing is the root difference which makes it all. It is an utopia, we think. We give it up and retire the unsurmountable shield that God gave to us, the gift of our freedom, and allow the filthy woodcutter to get on fine breaking the trunk into pieces. We are not alone. The unreachable goal, the true miracle which God wants to do, is potencially written inside ourselves. How the being faculties can be developed? Anyone knows: with love. The same way that hatred destroys any faculty and limits freedom, love expands and encourages us to try the impossible. It4s said that: behind any important man, there is an admirable woman (and the opposite, of course), who gives him love, it is supposed. And who is behind that madman of the world of every time who is each compromised christian?
