SUPPORT OUR MISSION
The common mission of the
Adorers of the Blood of Christ in the Church consists in collaborating with Christ in His redemptive
work by witnessing the love of God and giving it to others, especially the poor, the oppressed, the
marginalized, the outcast. Through our varied ministries of evangelization and human promotion, of
prayer and our sharing in the cross of Christ, we collaborate day after day in building up of the Body
of Christ, so that all creation may advance toward " beautiful order of things which the great Son
of God came to establish with his Blood "( St Maria De Mattias Letter n.16).
The Paschal Mystery of Jesus Christ is the place where every Adorer of the Blood of Christ feeds and
nourishes her own mission, lived first and foremost in the apostolic community to which she is called
by obedience and addressed to every age group, social class, every need, language, people and
nation to be "witness" of the universal and personal love of the unique Easter sacrifice of the
Crucified-Risen Lord: The style of the mission is rooted in that of Jesus and of his Blessed Mother,
Our Lady of Sorrows, "Woman of the New Covenant".
The motto of St. Maria De Mattias: "Every person is worth all the blood of Jesus Christ", guides the
vision and the mission of the Adorers of the Blood of Christ even today.

Llike Maria De Mattias, "we are consecrated to the adoring and redeeming love of Jesus Christ, who shed his Blood to free us from sin and reconcile us in love. The spirit of the Congregation will thus be all love and charity, 'charity towards God and our dear neighbor' "
(ASC MINISTRIES “Our apostolic goal is to share the fruits of redemption with others,
especially the poor, through works of evangelization and charity. Mindful of the self-giving love which impelled the Congregation Maria De Mattias to be wholly consumed in varied ministries for her "dear neighbor," our apostolic services, are diversified according to the real needs of others and our own giftedness. . As diaconal women we encourage one another to be available and responsive as we discern together in docility to the Spirit the ministries to which the Lord calls us.”(L.C. 34)
“In order of be faithful to our tradition in meeting the needs of God's people, especially the poor,
during all the phases of their lives, we continue to engage in diverse ministries. Among these are
works of education, retreats, pastoral services, lay associations, domestic service, health care, social
services and care of the aged. We carry out our apostolate not only in the geographic area of the
region, but also in distant areas where there is special need”. (Statutes 43)Constitution, Life Charter
