Disciples of the Divine Master, founded on
February 10, 1924, have their sanctification and mission
through a three-fold apostolate: Eucharistic, Priestly and
Liturgical. They have the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
day and night; serve Christ in His Priesthood by helping and
praying for priests and the Pauline Family; dedicate their
talents in enriching the liturgical field through art,
architecture, painting, embroidery, etc., and also
publishing liturgical books.
As Disciples of Jesus Master,
they commit themselves to proclaim Him as the Way, the Truth
and the Life to the men and women of our times, within
diverse cultural realities, through their
Eucharistic-Priestly-Liturgical ministry.
Their daily encounter with
Him in the celebration of the Eucharist makes them vibrate
with His sentiments and attitudes: the glorification of God
and the salvation of humanity. This impels them to stay in
prayer on behalf of humanity. In this way, they come to
harmonize the primacy of God and the concrete signs of our
times as they live and work within the Church which is
ministerial, participative, ecumenical and open to dialogue.
In this encounter too, they feel challenged to become
"neighbors" to those who are materially, spiritually and
morally in need. A special dimension of their Eucharistic
prayer goes to those who work in, and are addressed by, the
mass media. They offer special prayers so that the Gospel
may reach everyone especially through these means and also
to make reparation for the sins committed through such
means.
The anxiety to continually
and progressively respond to the demands of today impels
them to help and contribute in the pastoral development of
the Church: to pray for vocations, to help them in their
growth and development, to assist and accompany the priests,
in the exercise of their ministry, in times of suffering and
pain, in their old age, and in other difficult situations,
in the same way that Mary accompanied Jesus and His
disciples.
Their Eucharistic experience
is transformed into a concrete testimony of life, in an
austere yet dignified service, always mindful of the
exigencies of the different cultures, bringing in their
hearts the universal spirit of St. Paul.
Living and active members in
the Church, vital witnesses of the Paschal Mystery, they
communicate Jesus Master, Way, Truth and Life here and now,
so that He may be known, loved and followed by all, in the
totality of His beauty and truth, and thus become signs and
prophecy of the love of the Father in the Son through the
Spirit.
They creatively place themselves at the
service of the liturgy, the richness of various artistic
expressions: painting, sculpture, architecture, music and
craftsmanship in order that prayer may be characterized by
beauty and dignity.
They render liturgical service in terms of formation,
catechesis, biblical-liturgical animations, always in view
of contributing to the growth of Gods Kingdom in the world. |
