PDDM MISSION
The Eucharistic dimension of this one apostolate is their way of being alive in and active in the heart of the Church. Through the Eucharistic apostolate, they bring all the prayers and particular needs of all people before Jesus Master. The mission entrusted to them by the Church is primarily carried out through the perpetual eucharistic adoration and is further extended through the various initiatives aimed at bringing the faithful to live evermore profoundly the Eucharist as the mystery of Christ living and active in the Church. In this regard, they are true intercessors and teachers of prayer.
In the Priestly dimension of their apostolate, the Pious Disciples render service to the person of Christ present in the priest. This is their particular sharing in the mission of the mission of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the one Priest, Jesus Christ. They offer prayers and sacrifice for vocations to the priesthood and collaborate with them in their formation period as well as in their priestly ministry. They attend to them in their sickness and old age.
The Liturgical dimension of the apostolate of the Pious Disciples springs from an intense liturgical life and contemplation of the divine mysteries. With fitting attention to the culture of the people among whom they live, they prepare and disseminate whatever is related to divine worship in order to foster the piety of the faithful and to proclaim Christ the Master to those who do not know him. They place the treasures of art and handicraft at the service of the Liturgy, transforming the Word of God into visible signs and symbols. In the harmony and in the simplicity of beauty, they make the elements of creation speak a liturgical language; this is to inspire God's people to become more meaningfully "the voice of every creature" singing glory to their Creator.
In the local Church of the Philippines, their various initiatives aim to contribute to the ongoing liturgical formation and renewal of the worshipping community.
