Mission
Our mission
Through prayer and hidden sacrifice, as a seed within the ordinariness of our daily lives, through fraternal fellowship and welcome, through pastoral action and work, we want to radiate the Peace of Christ, to build it up, to permeate the world with it, gathered around Mary the Woman of Peace, collaborating with her, like the disciples in the primitive cenacle we fulfil our joyful mission.
RL 7
Peace is a gift from God that must be implored, suffered and humbly shared. Foundational ministries of our ecclesial family are: Intercession, Expiation and Hospitality that enable us to live Peace as an Easter gift, which the Crucified and Risen Christ offers in the Holy Spirit (cf. Jn. 20:19-23) to us and to those who knock on our communities, new cenacles which are guided by Mary.
Intercession
We carry out in contemplative communities, true "oases of peace," the ministry of intercession for the Church and for all humanity, to implore the gift of Peace (cf Eph 6:18). The Church today more than ever needs contemplative communities in the deserts of the world, which continue (cf Acts 12:5) the ministry of Abraham (cf Gen 18:16ff), Moses (cf Ex 17), Jeremiah (cf 2 Mac 15:14-15), Esther (cf Est 4:17ff), Mary (cf Jn 2:5), and Jesus in Gethsemane (cf Heb 5:7) and especially on the Cross.
Expiation
The ministry of intercession has its foundation and fullness in the ministry of expiation. Jesus, the Lamb of God, reveals to us the Father's Love (cf. Jn. 3:16): that is why He takes away the sins of the world (cf. Jn. 1:29) by taking them upon Himself (cf. Isa. 53:7, 12) along with all our spiritual and physical ailments (cf. Isa. 53:4; Mt. 8:17) and expiates them (cf. 1 Jn. 4:10). We, too, who are called and desire to live our responsibility toward the world that needs salvation, join Jesus and His Mother in saying to the Father, "Behold, I come to do your will, O God" (Heb 10:7) offering with love our lives and its small sacrifices. Thus, we can joyfully complete in our body that which is lacking in Christ's Passion for the benefit of His body which is the Church (cf. Col 1:24), becoming, each one of us, an oasis of peace for our brothers and sisters.
Hospitality
We also wish to offer the same walk of peace, which Mary leads us on, to all those brothers and sisters who are sincerely seeking the Gospel of Peace (cf. Eph 6:15), and who suffer being burdened by many wounds and the sorrow of estrangement from God (cf. Lk 10:30-37).
