Our Household is founded on complete surrender to Jesus through Mary. In an attempt to understand Mary’s unconditional love and the many ways in which she manifests this love, we find the Beatitudes to be the most perfect summary of our understanding.
Our Lady, whom we have chosen for our model, was not a stranger to sacrifice. She submitted herself to the will of the Father in order to receive Jesus and the Holy Spirit, and her “yes” submitted her to be nailed to the Cross with her Son. Yet this sacrifice is her greatest joy. We also take joy in submitting ourselves to the will of the Father and dying to ourselves.
Crown of Creation is a group of women who seek to live out Blessed John Paul II’s message of Theology of the Body.Recognizing that they are created in the image and likeness of God for interpersonal communion, they are called to use their God-given dignity to be spiritual mothers. Crown of Creation has chosen BlessedJohn Paul II, St. Michael the Archangel, and the Holy Family to intercede for the intentions of the household.
We the members of the Little Flowers Household, strive to be radical women who proclaim Jesus as our Lord by serving God, one another and our campus.Let us not grow weary in doing good; if we do not relax our efforts, in due time we shall reap our harvest. While we have the opportunity, let us do good to all men but especially those in the household of faith.”Galatians 6:9-10
Madonna of the Streets is a response to Pope John Paul II’s call to young people: “Do not be afraid to go out onto the streets and into public places, like the first apostles who preached Christ and the Good News of salvation in the squares of cities, towns, and villages” (World Youth Day, Denver, 1993). We desire to be an active part of the NewEvangelization through our prayer and service to bring about a Culture of Life and Civilization of Love.
Within the Love of the Lamb family, we will do our best to be sisters in Christ, through humility, genuineness and unconditional love. By trusting and being committed to each other, we will bear one another up, bringing joy and laughter into each other’s lives. While striving towards individual holiness, we will encourage and strengthen each other on the path to sainthood. Each member is expected to show respect for her sisters by fulfilling all commitments and striving to live according to our covenant.
In seeking to live according to these words and in accord with God’s particular plan for each of our lives, we will eventually, with His grace, embody the four qualities so much needed in the world today: peace, humility, joy, and prayerfulness.
Redemptoris Mater is a group of women who strive to make Our Lady of Perpetual Help known. Reflecting on the significance of the Lord’s passion, they realize that their suffering brings them closer to Christ. They run to Our Lady of Perpetual Help in times of trial, and she shows them that “With God, all things are possible” (Matt 19:26). Redemptoris Mater has chosen Our Lady of Perpetual Help, St. Alphonsus Liguori, St. Michael, and St.Gabriel to intercede for the intentions of the household.
As Christ’s own daughters, we strive to place our trust always in His Divine Mercy. Through the daily example of our individual lives and the life of our household, we endeavor to remind the world of the merciful love of God towards every human being.“ Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy steadfast love; according to Thy abundant mercy, blot out my transgressions.” Ps 51:1
