John C. Heehan (then-bishop of Leeds) on the Fall of Man being Planned by God in the Eternal past and the Felix Culpa


 

Every detail of God’s plan for saving us from the effects of Adam’s sin was decided from all eternity. It was not by chance that Jesus Christ, as man, was a member of the Jewish race nor an accident that He was born of a certain woman. Mary was chosen before time began to be the mother of God. (John C. Heehan, Our Faith [London: Thomas Nelson and Sons Ltd., 1956], 193)
