WELCOME
"Prayer is an essential duty for every Christian; but for the professed me@mbers of the Secular Order of JMJ, it is a way of life. Prayer is our special, personal response to our promise to follow Him (Jesus Christ), His teachings, and His example...a special commitment to growth in faith and hope to bring the commandment of love to perfection."
A personal and hidden prayer life is a necessity. Jesus found it so. Prayer is meeting with God in faith. On our life journey, the Blessed Virgin, Our Sorrowful Mother, is our sure safe guide and support of the Order. In common prayer our primary focus is to pray for God's mercy, and so we make acts of and prayers for reparation and atonement to the Triune God for the sins of the world. Liturgical prayer takes priority, with Holy Mass as prime..The Divine Office is recommended...The Dolor Rosary (Seven Sorrows), the Litany of Captives. We foster EUCHARISTIC ADORATION, and reparation, Holy Hours, daily prayer for Order members and for the souls in Purgatory. Development of a prayer life is nourished by retreats and days of recollection.
The primary focus of the Order is Eucharistic Adoration and Reparation. To this end, we make and promote Holy Hours:
- To save those souls that can still be saved.
- To live the Rule to the best of our ability.
- To be a discipline of Jesus through Mary, by growing in virtue and loving the people of the world. We consecrate ourselves daily to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the Divine Will, to be a person of prayer: We pray daily the Dolor Rosary. We encourage all 15 mysteries of the Rosary, the Divine Office and Daily Mass, as our vocations permit.
- To perform our duties, and offer our sufferings for the intentions of the Blessed Mother.
- To dedicate our service to Jesus through Mary.
- To pray the vocations and to actively seek people to serve the Lord.
- To nourish our souls by prayer, study, and works of mercy.
- To be obedient to the Holy Father.
- To promote and support values of family and respect for life.
- To reflect a spirit of gratitude for all we have and do.
- To wear the Brown Scapular and the Miraculous Medal.
- To practice the devotions of the Double Great Novena (Nine First Fridays and Nine First Saturdays, with Confession) with intention of reparation for your sins and the sins of the world.
