Union with Christ the Mediator

The Son of God became man and died on the Cross, and he did so in order that all of us human beings might become one with him and with the Father.²¹ Therefore we are all called to form part of this divine unity. With a priestly soul, making the holy Mass the centre of our interior life, we seek to stand with Jesus, between God and men.

Co-redeemers

Our union with Christ makes us aware that we are co-redeeming the world with him, helping all souls to share in the fruit of his Passion and to learn about and follow the path of salvation that leads to God the Father.

Embracing the Cross

I will never stop stressing this. In order to be united to Christ in our earthly occupations, we must embrace the Cross generously and wholeheartedly. The salt of our life, my daughters and sons, is mortification, which must accompany our daily work perceptively and intelligently, to maintain our supernatural life just as our heartbeat maintains the life of our body.

In the world without being of the world

In this way we will show the other people living and working among this world’s earthly realities, the meaning of Christ’s priestly prayer: Pater sancte, serva eos in nomine tuo, quos dedisti mihi ... Non rogo ut tollas eos de mundo, sed ut serves eos a malo. De mundo non sunt, sicut et ego non sum de mundo (John 17:11,15-16). Holy Father, protect in your name those whom you have given me ... I do not pray that you should take them out of the world, but that you should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
