The
Missionaries of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary was founded in Italy
in 1836, by Blessed Gaetano Errico. Our priests and brothers of the
Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary live in community throughout the world. Our communities are small and revolve around the ministries of their members,
but each holds to a communal life of sharing...living each day in a common
bond of charity and reconciliation. Our model is the Holy Family of Nazareth
which makes us ever mindful of the need to interact with the abundant
love and understanding that Jesus, Mary and Joseph gave unceasingly to
one another.
We draw strength and
encouragement from one another as we return to our communities to share
both trials and joyful accomplishments, knowing that it is not a personal
success or failure, but a following of God's will that builds up the Family
of God. Our community is always at the service of the Kingdom.
Our
commitment to one another in community is strengthened by our personal
relationship with God and our deep commitment to the Sacred Hearts of
Jesus and Mary. That relationship and commitment is renewed through daily
communal prayer each morning and evening, reflection and adoration of
the Blessed Sacrament and in the daily celebration of the Eucharist.
Private prayer is a
vital part of our day. Even if only for a few moments, we open our minds
and hearts to meditate upon the life of our Lord Jesus Christ and that
of His Blessed Mother, whose loving heart emulates that of her Son in
the work for the salvation of the world. This balance between communal
and private prayer allows us to celebrate the love of the Sacred Hearts
of Jesus and Mary and to be open to God's enabling grace in all our ministries
and in total selfless giving to our community.
