In
1958, while the West was prospering
materially but languishing spiritually and
communism was in full vigor but humanly
bankrupt, Fr. Alberione invited men and
women while continuing to live in a secular
word to follow the evangelical counsels of
poverty, chastity and obedience. They bring
their intensity and deep love of God into
the workplace, along the highways of the
secular city. They gently show that God is
alive and well.
