Who The Marian Servants of The Eucharist are:
“A PRIVATE ASSOCIATION OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITHFUL”
-
The Marian Servants are laity who live in their own homes, caring for their families, working in the “marketplace” – using all the gifts and talents given to them by God to evangelize the world to Jesus.
We are called to be Saints – We are called to be Holy – We are called to bear witness to a truly Christian life.
-
We come together as community to share our “Faith Experience,” to gather together in the “Temple” for prayer and praise, and to be a service to God’s people and His Church especially in the Diocese of Baton Rouge.
“This may be a wicked age, but your lives should redeem it.” (Ephes. 5:15) “Our lives should be a sign that provokes contradiction.” John Paul II
-
We are committed to a Rule of Life for a period of one year. (not under pain of sin)
-
We can belong to more than one private CHRISTIAN association.
What The Marian Servants of The Eucharist are not:
- We are not a Covenant community. (sharing all things in common-Acts 2 & 4)
- We are not a Third Order.(connected to a Religious order)
If you are, this does not prevent you from belonging to a lay association.
- We are not a vowed or consecrated life under the pain of sin: this is what
Priests and religious are.
- To bring the healing love of Jesus to a broken world(we are wounded healers but to the extent that we are healed, we will be able to bring healing to others).
- To exhibit trust in the loving providence of Almighty God in the affairs of daily life, and most especially by taking as our model, Mary, the Mother of Christ to a broken world.
- To make reparation for sins through prayer, fasting and works of charity to a broken world.
- To provide, free of charge, spiritual direction and direction and guidance to a directee through the Ignatian Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola.
