Sister
Disciples of the Divine
Master, founded
on February 10, 1924, have
their sanctification and
mission through a three-fold
apostolate: Eucharistic,
Priestly and Liturgical.
They have the adoration of
the Blessed Sacrament day
and night; serve Christ in
His Priesthood by helping
and praying for priests and
the Pauline Family; dedicate
their talents in enriching
the liturgical field through
art, architecture, painting,
embroidery, etc., and also
publishing liturgical books.
As Disciples
of Jesus Master, they commit
themselves to proclaim Him
as the Way, the Truth and
the Life to the men and
women of our times, within
diverse cultural realities,
through their
Eucharistic-Priestly-Liturgical
ministry.
Their daily
encounter with Him in the
celebration of the Eucharist
makes them vibrate with His
sentiments and attitudes:
the glorification of God and
the salvation of humanity.
This impels them to stay in
prayer on behalf of
humanity. In this way, they
come to harmonize the
primacy of God and the
concrete signs of our times
as they live and work within
the Church which is
ministerial, participative,
ecumenical and open to
dialogue. In this encounter
too, they feel challenged to
become "neighbors" to those
who are materially,
spiritually and morally in
need. A special dimension of
their Eucharistic prayer
goes to those who work in,
and are addressed by, the
mass media. They offer
special prayers so that the
Gospel may reach everyone
especially through these
means and also to make
reparation for the sins
committed through such
means.
The anxiety
to continually and
progressively respond to the
demands of today impels them
to help and contribute in
the pastoral development of
the Church: to pray for
vocations, to help them in
their growth and
development, to assist and
accompany the priests, in
the exercise of their
ministry, in times of
suffering and pain, in their
old age, and in other
difficult situations, in the
same way that Mary
accompanied Jesus and His
disciples.
Their
Eucharistic experience is
transformed into a concrete
testimony of life, in an
austere yet dignified
service, always mindful of
the exigencies of the
different cultures, bringing
in their hearts the
universal spirit of St.
Paul.
Living and
active members in the
Church, vital witnesses of
the Paschal Mystery, they
communicate Jesus Master,
Way, Truth and Life here and
now, so that He may be
known, loved and followed by
all, in the totality of His
beauty and truth, and thus
become signs and prophecy of
the love of the Father in
the Son through the Spirit.
They
creatively place themselves
at the service of the
liturgy, the richness of
various artistic
expressions: painting,
sculpture, architecture,
music and craftmanship in
order that prayer may be
characterized by beauty and
dignity.
They render liturgical
service in terms of
formation, catechesis,
biblical-liturgical
animations, always in view
of contributing to the
growth of Gods Kingdom in
the world. |
