-
M--We
are marked with this gratuitous gift; that is, the
providential call of God, His will, that we belong
to this Society of Our Lady; to disciple Mary and
Jesus and so to make disciples of all peoples. The
purpose of the Society of Our Lady: Honor and glory
of God, exultation of His Majesty and manifestation
of His greatness.
-
A--Our
Society is apostolic, thus our spirituality is based
on the principles found in the Gospels in the early
Church.
-
R--We
build relationships, with the persons of the Trinity
and bring others into these relationships through
graced friendships.
-
I--We
constantly remind ourselves that we are created
in the image and likeness of God; thus we pay attention
to the mysteries of the Incarnation and the Paschal
Mystery.
-
A--Our
action, our mission flows from our charism to bring
about these relationships, through discipling Mary
and Jesus in ecclesial teams.
-
N--We
live in the now of God, seeing Him making all things
new; thus we join in His great work of creation
and re-creation.
-
-
T--Trust
and confidence in God who is Our Father, in Jesus
who is with us always as our Shepherd and the guidance
of the Holy Spirit the source of our union.
-
R--Reading
the signs of the times, how God works in the lives
of those we serve. Through the Word of God lived
in the Liturgy and the Teachings of the Church,
we see the response of the Spirit to the situation
in our world.
-
I--We
instill and inspire a growth in the sacramental
life of the Church; especially the sacraments of
Baptism and the Holy Eucharist.
-
N--No
teaching of the Church is intellectually studied
but we mission each document. We make an effort
to "think with the Church."
-
--In
Christ, with Him and through Him we continue the
work of building the Kingdom of God. We desire to
establish all things in Christ. We strive to bring
everything to the maturity of Christ.
-
T--This
is the sign that all will know that we are His disciples:
our love for one another. We accept everyone as
our brothers and sisters. Our desire is that no
person live alone, much less die alone.
-
A--The
spirit of Anawim (the least, the last and the lowest)
is our inheritance. In our littleness we acknowledge
God's greatness. We live the Magnificat of Mary
our mother. We seek always to serve. We totally
depend on God alone in all things and trust in divine
providence.
-
R--Reaching
in service to the deepest apostolic needs; for no
person comes into our lives accidentally but providentially.
We recognize Christ in all those we serve and we
serve as Christ serves.
-
I--We
witness to the unity in the various in the Church.
We recognize the diversity of gifts the Holy Spirit
gives us for the building of the Church. We see
in our diversity of vocations and culture the means
of building the Body of Christ. We witness to the
unity of the Most Holy Trinity in our relationships
as we work in ecclesial teams.
-
A--All
are included in our mission; our success is when
those whom we serve become disciples and in turn
go out to make disciples of those they are called
to serve.
-
N--Our
nothingness is that of a child, as we live our vows
and promises according to our state of life. Our
obedience of relationships is based on the way the
Holy Trinity obeys each other. Our poverty is the
witness that we are children of God and that we
belong to the family of the Most Holy Trinity. Our
chastity is expressed in our desire to please God
in all things and in our seeing the goodness of
God in everyone and in every situation of our lives.
-
-
R--We
always recall God's favors to us in gratitude and
freely give the gifts we were generously given.
Our life becomes our Liturgy, a memorial sacrifice
an eternal hymn of praise.
-
E--Every
mindful of the mission of Our Father in creation,
Jesus in redemption and the Holy Spirit in sanctification;
we encourage each other on the path of perfection.
-
L--Long
to be with God every moment. Seek to follow each
person of the Trinity, as they reveal themselves.
-
A--Ask
God, making constant intercession to the Father
with Jesus, the Holy Spirit, Mary, and all the angels
and saints.
-
T--Seek
to abide in the unity of the Trinity. Learn the
very expansiveness of God.
-
I--Develop
all peoples in the gifts God gives them. Make them
aware of their identity and call them to their dignity.
-
O--Desire
to go through a process of on-going formation. Your
fruitfulness shows growth on the path of perfection.
This means you are willing to learn even from the
least in every situation of your life. Recognize
the formation God began since your birth and the
lessons He teaches you, as you respond to the graces,
gifts and talents He blesses you with.
-
N--Lose
no moment. Be like trustworthy servants who desire
to do the will of God whatever be the cost. Therefore,
we offer no excuses, no complaints and no delays.
We live in gratitude, attentiveness and joyful service.
-
S--Seek
the lost. You are sent to the rejected, the lonely,
and the stranger, the marginalized, the forsaken,
the unwanted.
-
H--Hold
fast to your consecration to Jesus through Mary.
Desire that you decrease everyday and that as a
disciple everyone would only see Jesus living, loving
and serving in and through you.
-
I--Instruct
others by your life, as you witness to truth, unity
and charity.
-
P--Ponder
the Word of God. With Mary treasure the Word in
your heart. Do everything to please God. Seek the
help of Mary, the service of the angels and the
intercession of the saints as you live from one
communion to another. As we receive Jesus in the
Eucharist may we remind ourselves that we are accountable
for much.
-
S--We
are servants and that too unprofitable. Our reward
is the favor of being called to serve. We strive
to imitate Mary, to become like Jesus and live for
the Triune God. Our reward is to enter with Mary
into the paschal mystery and remain in it. This
is the basis for the Marian-Trinitarian relationships.
