Charism
We are a Marian Institute. Our goal of life is to build communion with Christ through Mary, the Servant of the Lord and the Mother of the Church.
There are two events; we may say two ‘fiats’ of Mary, which are connected with the Mariological feature of our Institute. The first fiat was proclaimed at the moment of Annunciation “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word” and the second fiat being a response of Mary to the words of Jesus spoken on the Cross: “Behold, your son”; “Behold, your mother”.
We want to learn from Mary how to dedicate our lives to the service of our brothers and sisters and we would like to do it with the attitude of faith and humility. Also, in all circumstances, whether joyful and comprehensive or difficult and incomprehensive, we want to place all our hopes in Christ.
By making an individual act of entrustment to Our Lady, we confirm our dedication to Mary.
My little beloved daughter, do not let your heart be troubled.
Am I not with you, I, who am your Mother?
Are you not under my shadow of protection?
Am I not a source of your joy?
Are you not hidden in the fold of my mantle? In the crossing of my arms?
Is there anything else you need?
(Compare: The words of Mary of Guadalupe, said on 12.12.1531)
Mother of Great Abandonment, Humble Servant of the Lord, I give myself to you without reservation
– so that you may lead me to union with your Son.
