February 13, 2025 Reflection – It is not good or the man to be alone.
It is not good or the man to be alone. February 13, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! The first reading for today, February 13, 2025, is from Genesis 2. It is the amazing telling of how God provided companionship for Adam. We see God educating Adam. Adam was alone, and he needed to realize it!! No animal would do, only another human, who could be a perfect soul mate! So God made Eve!! I love this! Genesis 2:18-25: The Lord God said, “It is not good or the man to be alone. I will make a suitabl partner for him.” So the Lord God forme out of the ground various wild animals and various birds of the air, and he brought them to the man to see what he would call them; whatever the man called each of them would be its name. The man gave names to all the cattle, all teh birds of the air, and all the wild animals; but none proved to be the suitable partner for the man. So the Lord God cast a deep sleep on the man, and while he was asleep, he took out one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. The Lord God then built up into a woman the rib that he had taken from the man. When he brought her to the man, the man said: ‘This one, at last, is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one shall be called ‘woman’, for out of ‘her man’ this one has been taken.” That is why a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, and the two of them beome one flesh.” Gen 2:18-25 We have no idea how careful God was about making the perfect partner for Adam. But we should trust it. And let that love grow in our lives. For sure not only was Eve perfect for Adam, but Adam was perfect for Eve!!! Our Lady gave us the perfect way to start to have peace and love and unity in our families. Here is her advice: Friday, January 27, 1984 “Pray and fast. I wish that you deepen and continue your life in prayer. Every morning say the prayer of consecration to the Heart of Mary. Do it in the family. Recite each morning the Angelus, 5 Our Father’s, Hail Mary’s, and Glory Be’s in honor of the Holy Passion and a sixth one for our Holy Father, the Pope. Then say the Creed and the prayer to the Holy Spirit. And, if it is possible, it would be well to pray a Rosary.” This is the way to supercharge our families in grace!! Nothing better!! And here is more good advice: October 25, 2004 “Dear children! This is a time of grace for the family and, therefore, I call you to renew prayer. May Jesus be in the heart of your family. In prayer, learn to love everything that is holy. Imitate the lives of saints so that they may be an incentive and teachers on the way of holiness. May every family become a witness of love in this world without prayer and peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.” May we accept the beauty of God’s gift love in the family, and pray, pray, pray! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
