Charism

The consecration of our life to Mary, Mother of God, is the basis of our spirituality. We begin every day with this intention, this interior act, this prayer: “Virgin Immaculata, I received you as a gift of Jesus from the cross and I entrust myself to you.” This is the expression of our charism, the special “gift” we have received from God to share. 
Before his death on the Cross, Jesus gave us his Mother and entrusted each one of us to her love and tenderness, as John recounts in his Gospel: “Woman, behold your son,”“Behold your mother” (John 19:26). It was the peak of God’s love for the salvation of the world. Therefore, in receiving this Word, we have heard the call to live it in the depths of our being, in our style of life, through witness and service. The consecration to Mary, when welcomed within us, interiorly transforms us into Mary, in a constant and gradual way, as in the life of Saint Maximilian Kolbe. This is our greatest desire, our goal, our ideal: to be Mary. No one lived for God and of God more than she.
