Charism
of the
Mendicant Missionaries
Our
charism is the
expiation, conversion, and deliverance of the hardened heart sinner,
especially youth and young adults, priests, and religious.
Recognizing ourselves as the first and worse sinners in need of
conversion and deliverance, we offer our entire lives: actions,
thoughts, and being, to God with a deep spirit of abnegation and penance
in reparation of our sins and those of the whole world.
Thus, living in authentic fraternal community —schola amoris et maxima
paenitenia (school of love and maximum penance)— we imitate Christ;
poor, chaste, obedient, and expiatory in order to carry on the intense
missionary apostolate of proclaiming the kingdom of God where there is
more sin and great spiritual battle.
Our standards of life, from which all fruits of the mission and personal
consecration emerge, are Jesus Christ Eucharist and Mary the Mystical
Rose. The angels and all the saints are our allies in battle and in the
apostolate.
