Iuvenes Rosæ Mysticæ!

Iuvenes Rosæ Mysticæ is a program for young adult missionaries—men and women—who temporarily consecrate their lives to God for one or two years adhering to the charism, apostolate, and community life of the Mendicant Missionaries with the intention of discerning their vocation through the apostolate, work, community life, and philosophical-theological studies. 

These young men and women (ages 18-30) who spend a year of their lives living in the community of the Mendicants are blessed with clarity in their vocation call, a profound spiritual formation, detachment from worldly things, community and religious life experience, and missionary and apostolate service.

 

Some of the requirements that you need in order to qualify for our austere, yet joyous, community life are:

• desire to serve God and his people, not to be served

• openness to the Holy Spirit's action in your life and the gifts He wants to give

• detachment from the things of the world (personal possessions, money, clothes you like, food you like to eat, technology, class schedule preferences, personal appearance, etc.) and family/friends ties

• obedience and willful submission to all the teachings and precepts of the Catholic Church

• have a disposition for obedience to the superiors, way of life, and statutes of the community 

• have a desire to live poor, chaste, obedient, and practicing some forms of asceticism (like fasting)

• have a disposition to travel all over with the minimum necessary and learn other languages

• be community-oriented and not self-oriented

• have a healthy, age-appropriate human maturity

• be responsible, diligent, and hard worker even in the little things

• be at least 18 years of age

• right intention in wanting to join

If in your prayer you think that God may be calling you to spend a year of your life with us in the Iuvenes Rosae Mystica program give us a call or write to us to schedule an initial visit to our community and begin a discernment process with one of our missionaries.
