Jn 19:26-27
When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved he said to his mother, ‘Woman, behold, your son’.Then he said to the disciple, ‘Behold, your mother’. And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.
Words of the Foundress
Constantly I entrusted myself to the protection of the loving Mother of God.Often I repeated the prayer: “O most holy Virgin, purify my heart and flesh through your virginity and immaculate conception” (Life… III /2).
Begin every action with the name of Jesus and Mary, and if possible with a Hail Mary (Thoughts of MAM).
It is evident why this Order is founded in honour of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Most Holy and Immaculate Heart of Mary: The Daughters of the Divine Redeemer are to honour these most holy Hearts mainly through imitation in charity towards the needy; it is the most beautiful veneration of the same (From the First Rule).
Prayer
God, our Father, under the cross your Son, Jesus Christ, has given us his Mother.Fill us, like Mother Alphonse Marie, with a deep love and trust toward Mary, our heavenly Mother and let us and all our brothers and sisters be secure under her protection.
Mother Alphonse Maria
If a soul, in childlike trust turns to Mary she will never be rejected, because Mary is too good. She cannot act differently. She can never refuse anything, her love is too great!Always entrust yourselves to Mary. She will be your powerful protector. She wants her daughters to be like her. We prove our love towards Mary through prayer, especially, through the prayer of the rosary (Thoughts of MAM).
Daily prayer
Heavenly Father,You gifted Mother Alphonse Marie
with the grace of being powerfully attracted
to the mystery of the Cross,
even in her most tender years.
In this mystery she perceived your merciful love
for all your children.
You inspired her to found a Congregation to manifest
that love through serving those
who suffer in body or in spirit.
Through the Eucharist you gave her the strength
to participate in the work of the Redemption.
May we be transformed by the love of Christ the Redeemer,
even as she was;
and may our lives be a witness
of your great love to all those we encounter.
Hear the prayers that we present through her intercession...
and if it be your will, grant that we may soon venerate
Blessed Alphonse Marie as a Saint throughout the Church.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
