Jer 17:5-8; 1 Cor 15:12...20; Lk 6:17...26
Homily
The question of happiness and unhappiness is as old as the hills. From the very beginning of Genesis, there is misfortune misfortune, the fruit of sin, that deprives from happiness man and woman created in God's image and sharing His eternal happiness of happiness. Cursed is the serpent who deceived them; cursed is the ground on which it crawls and which they will have to cultivate to obtain their food; cursed is Cain, who killed his brother and, finally, cursed are all those who attack God's chosen people. (The whole of the Old Testament is peppered with such ‘curses’).
