Missionaries of the Holy Spirit - Christ the Priest Province

Missionaries of the Holy Spirit - Christ the Priest Province Brothers in Christ the Priest, contemplatives in the world, witnesses of mercy. We are a religious congregation of priests, permanent deacons, and brothers.

As religious we follow Jesus Christ, Priest and Victim, by imitating Him in his love for the Father and his compassion for others. We imitate his lifestyle by living the evangelical counsels of chastity, poverty and obedience. Called by God to participate in the same vocation, we are one family, in a communion of persons, and with the same spirit and the same mission. Therefore, we seek to live in

our communities united by the bond of charity, like the early Christians having one heart and one soul. Our name, Missionaries of the Holy Spirit, "is the whole program of our religious and priestly life." Our spirit and our mission require from us a peculiar way of life, a lifestyle by which to live our consecration to God and do our mission in the Church. Our founder summed it up well by saying, "We must be first of all contemplative and then men of action." This means to be men of prayer, lovingly attentive to God until contemplation becomes a way of seeing God and the world and we find ourselves continually seeing "with the eyes of Jesus." We give the first place to contemplation, not only in theory but our day to day life. It is impossible to carry out our mission if our ministry does not derive from the abundance of contemplation. The Eucharist prolongs the priestly sacrifice of Christ. So our liturgical life is intense and always finds its center in the celebration of the Mass. Fidelity to Eucharistic adoration takes a central place in our religious life. Called by God to share in the same vocation, we are one family, a communion of brothers, with the same spirit and the same mission. Therefore, our communities seek to live united by the bond of charity, with the early Christians' one heart and one soul. We share life and work in the community. We are like a family where we all help each other to be faithful to God and serve others. As religious we follow Jesus Christ Priest and Victim. This requires the total surrender of ourselves to God through the profession of the evangelical counsels of chastity, poverty, and obedience. It also requires us to work with Jesus Christ in building the Kingdom of God here, today.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!

UPDATE ON BR. SANTOS MENDOZA, MSpS
Thank you for all the prayers for Br. Santos. Thankfully, he is well on his way to recovery.

Fr. Peter Arteaga, provincial superior, is there with him, and he reports that Br. Santos has been moved out of the intensive care unit and is now in a normal hospital room as his situation has improved. Fr. Peter says that the doctor thinks that Br. Santos could possibly be discharged from the hospital in a few more days.

Br. Santos is in good spirits and eager to be able to leave the hospital as soon as possible. May God continue to strengthen our brother, Santos, in his recovery!
