10th anniversary of the shedding of tears of the Virgin of the Mount, in Anjara (Jordan) |
On May 6, 2010 the Blessed Virgin of the Mount of Anjara shed tears of blood in front of a religious sister. Her tears, visible on the statue, were seen by many people. The analysis of the blood says that it is human blood. The commission that dealt with the issue stated that there is no natural explanation in this regard. In this video, the Religious Family of the Incarnate Word in charge of the Shrine tells their story. |

The Servidoras pilgrimages to Marian Shrines |
We know that God grants special graces on those pilgrimages that are done for His greater glory. Especially when these are done in Shrines dedicated to the Mother of Jesus Christ. St. Louis de Montfort once said: "Therefore, the more you gain the friendship of this noble Queen and faithful Virgin the more you will be inspired by faith in your daily life (…) For it is a lively faith animated by love enabling you to do everything for no other motive than that of pure love. It is a firm faith, unshakable as a rock, prompting you to remain firm and steadfast in the midst of storms and tempests. It is an active and probing faith which like some mysterious passkey admits you into the mysteries of Jesus Christ and of man's final destiny and into the very heart of God himself. It is a courageous faith which inspires you to undertake and carry out without hesitation great things for God and the salvation of souls (…) Finally, this faith will strengthen you to resist the devil and the other enemies of salvation" (True Devotion, n. 214) |

May Christ reign through Mary! |
As we draw to the close of October, the month dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary and which celebrates the great Marian Pope, St. John Paul II, we present to you with great joy the new upcoming Marian project of our Religious Family: “May Jesus reign through Mary!” This project seeks to deepen our total consecration to Jesus through the Blessed Virgin Mary according to the teaching of Saint Louis de Montfort. To achieve this end, a nine-month preparation will take place, consisting of:
Monthly catechetical videos, the promotion and translation of the works of Saint Louis de Montfort, Marian concerts, Consecration Programs for children and adults, Pilgrimages to Marian Shrines, as well as other events.
This preparation will conclude in a pilgrimage to Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre (France), where Saint Louis de Montfort is buried, from July 28th-30th, 2020.
On July 30th, 2020 we will renew our consecration to Mary in filial slavery of love together with the Religious Family around the world. On that day, the members of the Religious Family who cannot make it to France will renew their consecration in Marian shrines or parishes near them.
You can find more information on the project’s webpage, which will soon be translated into various languages:
We invite you to take part in this great enterprise, so that we may say to Our Blessed Mother: Rege, o Maria! (May you reign, O Mary!)

Put out into deep water - Duc in altum! - Our Mission in Iceland |
Here in Iceland the mission was founded in 2004 when the first Servidoras arrived. And then in the beginning of 2005 the IVE fathers came. And we founded first the mission here in Hafnarfjörður, Iceland, a little suburb of Reykjavík, the capital. Then 5 years later in 2009, we founded in Stykkishölmur, a town, a little fishing village about 2 and a half hours from Hafnarfjörður. All of our missions consist in parish work. So we teach the children catechism, we prepare the sacristy and the liturgy. We have oratories in both of the missions and we visit the sick and the eldery in their homes and in the elderly homes. And then we also visit the familes of the children of the catechism and the families of the parish. We spend a lot of our time studying Icelandic, it takes a long time, it’s a very difficult ancient language, but its an adventure to learn it. One of the most exciting parts of the mission is the winter, here in Iceland, where there is very little daylight. Sometimes the sun will come up after midday a quarter to 1, and then it will go back around 3 o'clock. So we have very little daylight, it’s a couple of hours of sunset colors, that’s all that there is in the winter and then in the summer, there is no darkness at all, so for example right now its 9 o' clock in the evening and the sun is up. I ask you to pray for the mission and the missionaries here in Iceland and we promise to pray for you and your intentions. |

Siguiendo a la mística del Verbo Encarnado Santa Catalina de Siena |
(audio en Español) Venimos hoy a Siena para recordar, después de 600 años, esa particular obra de Dios, que aquí tuvo su comienzo: Catalina de Siena. Venimos no sólo para recordarla en esta ciudad, sino también para bendecir a Dios en ella y por ella; para dar gracias a Dios por la obra que quiso realizar en ella y mediante ella en la historia de la Iglesia y en la historia de Italia. Después de seis siglos, esta obra aún permanece viva, y todavía tiene su particular elocuencia. Catalina de Siena vive en Dios esa vida, cuyo comienzo fue injertado en ella mediante el bautismo, recibido aquí en Siena, inmediatamente después del nacimiento, acaecido, según la tradición, el 25 de marzo del año 1347. Y esta su vida en Dios, en el tabernáculo de la Santísima Trinidad, confirma de modo definitivo la verdad de las palabras que pronunció una vez San Ireneo, Padre de la Iglesia, en el siglo II: "El hombre viviente es gloria de Dios". San Juan Pablo II, Visita Pastoral a Siena, 14/09/1980 |

Course for Organists of the Servants of the Lord |
Beginning the month of February, the first course for organists of the Servants of the Lord took place, in which 46 sisters of the province Our Lady of Loreto were able to participate. Throughout the course the sisters learned about the origin of gregorian chant, and various principles to aid the chanting of the Liturgy of the Hours, as it is proper to our Institute. We hope that this will be the first of a series of courses for organists of the Servants of the Lord. |

Formation House for Contemplative Life |
To live the Monastic life completely, the contemplative sisters must first be formed in a life completely ordered toward contemplation, dedicating themselves solely to God in solitude and silence, in assiduous prayer and generous penance. It is important for the sisters in monastic formation "to always keep the desire to learn, to maintain a great disposition regarding formation and the freedom of allowing oneself to be formed," (Monastic Rule, 155.) in order to consecrate their lives to "contemplate and live the mystery of the Incarnate Word in the greatest manifestation of His self-emptying which is the cross that will enable them to give everything and give themselves entirely..." (Monastic Rule, 6.) in the contemplative branch of the Institute. |

Our charism is the grace to know how to work concretely in order to prolong Christ in families, in education, in mass media, in intellectuals and in all other legitimate manifestations of the life of man. It is the gift to make each man “like a new Incarnation of the Word,” by being essentially missionary and Marian. (Const. 31) We want to be founded in Jesus Christ, who has come in the flesh, only in Christ, and always in Christ, Christ in everything and in all, because the Rock is Christ, and no other foundation can anyone lay. (Const. 7)

“We aspire to form religious for the Catholic Church according to the Heart of Christ...” (Const. 231)
After the novitiate, our sisters begin a new period of religious formation, characterized by Philosophical and Theological studies...and oriented towards preparing for perpetual profession.
“We do not content ourselves with a superficial knowledge of Philosophy and Theology incapable of understanding in all its depth the contemporary drama of atheism and therefore incapable of giving remedy.” (Const. 259)
Our International Juniorate "St. Teresa de Jesus" houses around 80 religious from different parts of the world.
"The end of formation is Christ alone, Christ always, Christ in everything, Christ in all, and All Christ, until the religious can truly say...'yet I live, no longer I, but Christ lives in me' (Gal. 2:20)." (Const. 230)
"In the temple, in the cloister, in the cell, in the dining room, in recreations, they must always be crying out for Christ." (Const. 209)
"The song and laughter of the member of our Religious Family must be to cry for Jesus Christ. This is their duty" (Const. 209)
"How much you can do today for the Church and for humankind! They wait for your generous surrender, your free dedication of your heart, which unsuspectingly extends its potencies of love in a world that is losing its capacity for altruism and sacrificing, disinterested love. In effect, remember that you are mystic spouses of Christ, and of Christ crucified." St. John Paul II
"Religious life is a process of continual conversion that does not finish in the years of formation, but must be maintained and must grow more everyday." (Const. 262)
We entrust our new house of formation to St. Francis and St. Bonaventure, Patron of Fidanza, asking for the grace that many holy religious can be formed in order to go into the whole world for the good of the church and the salvation of many souls!

Vita Consecrata - 2 of 10 - The Trinity and the Evangelical Counsels |
21. The deepest meaning of the evangelical counsels is revealed when they are viewed in relation to the Holy Trinity, the source of holiness. They are in fact an expression of the love of the Son for the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit. By practicing the evangelical counsels, the consecrated person lives with particular intensity the Trinitarian and Christological dimension which marks the whole of Christian life. The chastity of celibates and virgins, as a manifestation of dedication to God with an undivided heart (cf. 1 Cor 7:32-34), is a reflection of the infinite love which links the three Divine Persons in the mysterious depths of the life of the Trinity, the love to which the Incarnate Word bears witness even to the point of giving his life, the love "poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit" (Rom 5:5), which evokes a response of total love for God and the brethren. Poverty proclaims that God is man's only real treasure. When poverty is lived according to the example of Christ who, "though he was rich ... became poor" (2 Cor 8:9), it becomes an expression of that total gift of self which the three Divine Persons make to one another. This gift overflows into creation and is fully revealed in the Incarnation of the Word and in his redemptive death. Obedience, practiced in imitation of Christ, whose food was to do the Father's will (cf. Jn 4:34), shows the liberating beauty of a dependence which is not servile but filial, marked by a deep sense of responsibility and animated by mutual trust, which is a reflection in history of the loving harmony between the three Divine Persons. The consecrated life is thus called constantly to deepen the gift of the evangelical counsels with a love which grows ever more genuine and strong in the Trinitarian dimension: love for Christ, which leads to closeness with him; love for the Holy Spirit, who opens our hearts to his inspiration; love for the Father, the first origin and supreme goal of the consecrated life. The consecrated life thus becomes a confession and a sign of the Trinity, whose mystery is held up to the Church as the model and source of every form of Christian life. Even fraternal life, whereby consecrated persons strive to live in Christ with "one heart and soul" (Acts 4:32), is put forward as an eloquent witness to the Trinity. It proclaims the Father, who desires to make all of humanity one family. It proclaims the Incarnate Son, who gathers the redeemed into unity, pointing the way by his example, his prayer, his words and above all his death, which is the source of reconciliation for a divided and scattered humanity. It proclaims the Holy Spirit as the principle of unity in the Church, wherein he ceaselessly raises up spiritual families and fraternal communities.

The Consecrated Life - Introduction to Consecrated Life and the Evangelical Counsels |
1. The Consecrated Life, deeply rooted in the example and teaching of Christ the Lord, is a gift of God the Father to his Church through the Holy Spirit.
By the profession of the evangelical counsels the characteristic features of Jesus — the chaste, poor and obedient one — are made constantly "visible" in the midst of the world and the eyes of the faithful are directed towards the mystery of the Kingdom of God already at work in history, even as it awaits its full realization in heaven.
In every age there have been men and women who, obedient to the Father's call and to the prompting of the Spirit, have chosen this special way of following Christ, in order to devote themselves to him with an "undivided" heart (cf. 1 Cor 7:34). Like the Apostles, they too have left everything behind in order to be with Christ and to put themselves, as he did, at the service of God and their brothers and sisters. In this way, through the many charisms of spiritual and apostolic life bestowed on them by the Holy Spirit, they have helped to make the mystery and mission of the Church shine forth, and in doing so have contributed to the renewal of society.
16. By professing the evangelical counsels, consecrated persons not only make Christ the whole meaning of their lives but strive to reproduce in themselves, as far as possible, "that form of life which he, as the Son of God, accepted in entering this world."
By embracing chastity, they make their own the pure love of Christ and proclaim to the world that he is the Only-Begotten Son who is one with the Father (cf. Jn 10:30, 14:11).
By imitating Christ's poverty, they profess that he is the Son who receives everything from the Father, and gives everything back to the Father in love (cf. Jn 17:7, 10).
By accepting, through the sacrifice of their own freedom, the mystery of Christ's filial obedience, they profess that he is infinitely beloved and loving, as the One who delights only in the will of the Father (cf. Jn 4:34), to whom he is perfectly united and on whom he depends for everything.
By this profound "configuration" to the mystery of Christ, the consecrated life brings about in a special way that confessio Trinitatis which is the mark of all Christian life; it acknowledges with wonder the sublime beauty of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and bears joyful witness to his loving concern for every human being.

The Holy Father in Bethlehem |
On May 25, 2014 the Holy Father visited Bethlehem, Holy Land, and celebrated Mass in front of the Basilica of the Nativity. Almost 900 perople attended.
The SSVM sisters who mission in Bethlehem in our Home, Child Jesus, attended the Mass with seven of our children. At the end of the Mass they received a papal blessing.
The sisters did not want the Holy Father to leave Bethlehem, the place that was the birthplace of the Child Jesus without receiving a picture of Him, so they decided to give the Holy Father an image of the little Baby Jesus. When the moment arrived to greet the Holy Father, he blessed the image and the sister who handed the image to him said: "It is for you! So every time you see it, you will see us, and remember the children, the sick, the weak." She also said that we pray for him and ended saying with hands joined, "We love you very much!"
Looking at the sister that was close, the Holy Father said: "Continue working as before," and then blessed Samar, a young Larzinho who was with his sister.
It was a moment of great emotion for the children and the sisters. We give thanks to God for greeting the Holy Father who is our "Sweet Christ on earth!"

In this season of graduations, we too have reason to celebrate! In May, Sister Maria del Fiat Miola, SSVM has earned her Master’s Degree in Greek and Latin at The Catholic University of America, alongside Sr. Marie Notre Dame de B...on Secours Casadaban, SSVM who completed her Bachelor’s in Theology, also at CUA in Washington, DC. The commencement ceremony at The Catholic University of America is truly “at the feet of Mary” since the side steps of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception provide the platform and setting. Like so many proud families, we gathered early to catch a glimpse of our sisters as they processed! Sr. Bon Secours completed her Bachelor’s which she had begun straight out of high school, and then set aside in order to enter religious life in her third year. It has been a beautiful thing to see her complete what she once began within the fulfillment of her vocation! ssvm.invocation.CUA.Arts.and.Sciences.2014We were particularly proud of Sr. Fiat who was chosen to give the invocation at the diploma ceremony for the graduate students of the School of Arts and Sciences. Her prayer thanked God for His care over all the students and also asked for the grace that all those graduating would call to mind that “to whom much is given, much shall be demanded (Lk. 12:48).” with.diplomaSr. Fiat has been a teacher of Latin within our Religious Family for over ten years and her own scholarship seeks to contribute to the academic research on early monasticism and evangelization of culture in the Late Roman Empire. Her work has a clear orientation to the missionary call to “bear fruit, fruit that will last (Jn. 15:16).” graduate.with.novicesMay Our Lady bless the studies of all our sisters: those here in the Province as well as those learning new languages in the foreign missions, the sisters studying philosophy in the Pontifical Universities in Rome, and those completing nursing and education degrees.
