Specific Charism

The specific Charism of the MSMI is to manifest the redemptive love of Jesus to the people through family apostolate, proclamation of the Word of God and other apostolic activities in a special way. This charism is still contemporary and urgent: to renew the Christian faith, to regenerate the society, to "bring about better times.”

Spirituality

The spirituality of the congregation is the Marian Spirituality, which makes the members receive in their own lives the role model and the spirit of Blessed Virgin Mary who totally submitted to the will of God. The Blessed Virgin Mary, who is present all through the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is the exemplary model for the consecrated life of the MSMI. The commitment of Virgin Mary, who received the Word of God at the Annunciation both in her heart and womb, turns out into service. The members, who visit the families and the grief-stricken, shall reproduce in their own lives the spirit of Mary, the one with whom the Lord was present, who was filled with the Holy Spirit, blessed, intercessor, consoler and above all the one who became the mother of all humanity at the foot of the cross on Calvary.

The intercessory power of Mother Mary to Jesus is expressed in the wedding feast at Cana. The life of Blessed Virgin Mary is an exemplary model for consecrated mission and at the same time she intercedes with Jesus on behalf of the bridegroom and encourages the servants to obey Him saying “do whatever he tells you” (Jn 2:5).

The Blessed Virgin Mary who offered her only begotten Son on the Cross for the salvation of humanity is the unique model of sacrificial self- giving. The members shall join to this self-giving act of Mother Mary by offering all their talents, strength, wealth and life totally for the loving service of others. Mary inspires them to lead a Christocentric life. They, who became ‘Jesus’ own’ by their total self-dedication, shall be ready to self- empty so as to bring others closer to Jesus. Mary who surrendered totally and absolutely to the hands of God in her earthly life fulfilled the will of God by offering a pleasing sacrifice. Consecrated life is also a life of continuous sacrifice. As the life of Mother Mary was in communion with the Church even after the death of Jesus, so also their life shall be fruitful if they live in communion with the Holy Catholic Church in order to attain sanctity.
