It will take time to get used to this way of life.  As you begin to look at the world with the eyes of your heart, you will grow in an attitude of discernment, discovering that” God is in all things and all things are in God”. Our spirituality is influenced by that of Ignatius of Loyola.

Aspirant

During the initial stages, apart from the time of the Novitiate, you will continue in your daily life of work or study.  As you journey from one stage to another there will be a mutual discernment, between you and the Congregation

Candidate

This stage of the journey is a time of human and spiritual growth, mutual knowledge and a lived experience in an SMR community. You would be accompanied by a sister.  This will help you to see if you are called to this way of life.

Lord what do you want me to do?

Pre-Novice

In this new stage of the journey you will live in a formation community and be involved in the mission and life of the sisters.  You will continue with personal and community accompaniment.

Lord do I have what it takes to live this way of life?

Novice

The novitiate marks the official beginning of religious life in the congregation.  It is a time of growth in the knowledge and love of Jesus Christ in preparation for your commitment by the vows in the Congregation.

It is a time of grace that favours

            a liberating experience of self-discovery….
            a passionate experience of Jesus in his work of Reparation….
            an international community experience…
            insertion among people in this world of conflict….

The Novitiate is ended with a simple public ceremony in which you express your decision to commit yourself to God by living the Charism of SMR.

Lord,
I am happy and grateful for your call
to unite myself with you
in the work of Reparation,
and to proclaim
the Good News to the  poor.

temporary professed

You will have opportunities to deepen your religious commitment in community, to engage in studies according to your gifts and in relation to the spirit and mission of the Congregation.  Through dialogue and prayer you will learn to integrate all the aspects of your experience, and so prepare yourself for your perpetual profession.
                                 
Take Lord and receive….
give me only your love and grace,
this is enough for me. (cf Sp Ex 234)

Since its origins the Congregation of Mary Reparatrix has offered and shared its mission with lay men and women as well as priests who have felt drawn to this call.

The work of Reparation is so vast that it can reach out to sectors of society that are more easily accessible to lay people than to the sisters.  It is in this sense that Vatican II recommends that Christian lay people become involved in politics, culture, the family, and the economy so as to promote a just society, above all where the poor are massacred and exploited.
 
This mission is lived by following the example of Mary, who opted for the poor (cf. Luke 1,39ff) and lived among them in simplicity, “without pomp and noise”, but without fear of risk.

This way of life can transform, little by little, the mentality of a world in which neo-capitalism wreaks havoc and divides people into poor and rich. 

These lay people participate in all the means that the Congregation offers them to maintain the spirit of reparation.

They are present in different countries.
