In the book of Genesis, we are told that man is created in the image and likeness of God.1 To be in the image of God means that man shares the same capacities of God like an intellect and will. To be in the likeness of God refers to man's conformity to God's perfection, that is, His sanctity or holiness. Due to Original Sin, however, man lost his likeness with God. The intellect has been darkened and the will has been weakened. Concupiscence reigned in the hearts of man. In order to regain this holiness, God promised a Redeemer. Speaking to the serpent He says “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.”
