Natural and Supernatural Motherhood, Sermon by Fr. Paul Robinson, SSPX

19 minutes

God is at the origin of two orders in creation, the natural and the supernatural.
The natural order concerns God’s material reality and the things of this earth. The supernatural order concerns God’s spiritual reality, the things of Heaven.
These two realms are very distant from one another. When we speak of two things being very far from one another, we say it is like the distance between heaven and earth.
At the same time, they are connected. God does not separate them into two completely separate realms but He makes there to be an interaction between them. We ourselves are natural creatures but God has elevated us to the supernatural level.
Many of the realities that we experience in our everyday natural level also exist on the supernatural level, only they are more elevated and sublime.
I want to take one example of this today: that of motherhood. Let us look at the motherhood that God has created in our natural world and then look at supernatural motherhood.
