June 9th, 2025 - Reflection

“Behold, your mother.” This line summarizes the story of Creation but personalizes it so that we see the ultimate purpose of Creation is to lead us to Redemption. God didn’t have a Plan B when we committed the Original Sin. God’s Plan A was ALWAYS to send His Son to redeem and restore us. He just wanted to be with us, to love us and remain with us forever. This is game changer. Mother Mary is the Mother of the Church because of what happened at the foot of the Cross. The world had fallen into chaos and lies so thoroughly that we literally killed God out of our blindness. Mother Mary endured all of this, only to embrace US as her sons and daughters! Suddenly, the Church becomes the Vessel of the New Creation in its Sacraments and Saints. The glory of God is the human being fully alive, through the salvation of souls. To bring greater or even the greatest glory to God then requires a maximizing approach to sharing the Gospel with as many people as possible in the most gratuitous forms of generosity we can muster in this life. We are all fragile individuals limited by space and time, but through supernatural grace, God can flow through us and become a blessing for all of humanity. We become channels of living water, vessels of the Holy Spirit to bring order, beauty, and light to others through the Blessed Mother. Today is the final day we have reflections for you for the 54-Day Rosary Novena. FRP has a great calling and hope to establish 72 Small Groups throughout the Archdiocese of Louisville and beyond to break open the gifts of the Holy Spirit through Salvation History & JPII’s Theology of the Body. If you are interested in joining, leading, or hosting a small group—please fill out the interest form at this link and become a witness to Hope like JPII. Imitate Mother Mary and St. Joseph to restore the culture by renewing the family. The Days of Creation are finally underway in the Archdiocese of Louisville. Let us be witnesses to God’s awesome power to create and give us the gift of life again in our parishes, our schools, and our families. May God bless you all!
