Prayer - Prière
DARE TO TAKE RISKS FOR GOD AND FOR HUMANITY
Our creative fidelity
God our Father,
remember your Congregation
that you possessed in your heart and
that your Son entrusted to Mary, his mother.
Look at us in our poverty and limitations.
Receive and transform them with your own power
so that your kingdom comes in us and through us.
May your Spirit of love
make us true promoters of communion and participation
in the mission of the Church,
following the example of your servant, Louis-Marie de Montfort.
May your light guide our steps
to be faithful to our missionary heritage within the Church:
to establish the reign of Jesus through Mary.
May this divine fire give us the audacity to take risks, without fear,
so that we can respond effectively with new missionary initiatives
to the needs of the most fragile of humanity.
Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Mary, Queen of the Apostles, pray for us.
Saint Louis-Marie de Montfort, pray for us.
Blessed Marie-Louise of Jesus, pray for us.
Logo Explanation - Logo Explication
St. Louis of Montfort, while telling us, "You are small, they are great ..." (ACM 2), does not lack audacity and also tells us, "Put all your trust in him through Mary '(ACM 4).
In the center of the logo is a cross. Graphically it is the smallest but from it, through the work of the Spirit, arrows "depart" which, creatively, go to the ends of the world (circle). The power of the cross - scandalous and insignificant in the eyes of the world - is the only one that can generate creative fidelity.
The logo includes many colors that represent the continents and our missionary charism. The arrows are a symbol of the race of the Spirit, at whose pace we are called to live.
The creative dimension and the "outgoing" dynamic are represented by the different directions and paths traveled by the arrows that always narrate the work that God has accomplished in and through Mary.
