The End of the Domus

The end of the Domus flows from its charism and is reflected in the works of its apostolate.

It seeks first and above all, the personal holiness of its members and their intimate union of mystical betrothal (cf. CIC 604 §1) with Jesus Christ Eucharist, Victim of Expiation, through the patronage and consecration of Maria Rosa Mystica, the Queen and “the most beautiful flower that ever was seen in the spiritual world” (John Henry Newman, The Mystical Rose, p. 83), who, throughout the ages, constantly asks her beloved children for prayer and penance in expiation for heart hardened sinners. From these two pillars—Jesus Eucharist Victim of Expiation and Maria Rosa Mystica—flows that all Domus members make a perpetual vow of expiation.

Secondly, according to the Domus charism and its spirituality of expiation, the members of the Association seek to sanctify the other members of the Body of Christ—especially priests, religious, and young people—and the whole human race using their vow of expiation to unite with Jesus’ salvific sacrifice on the cross in atonement for the sins of heart hardened sinners, in begging for the grace of their conversion of heart, and in interceding for their total deliverance from any bondage to the enemies of the faith (world, flesh and devil).

Thirdly, having a missionary spirit of an evangelization of conversion and deliverance, the members of the Domus also orient their lives seeking to attain the goals of their charism in concrete active works of the apostolate (among which adoration is its peak) that embody, in a physical way, the two prior spiritual ends of the Association. This is done with an active intercession of the heavenly host, especially the Domus patron saints.
