A life in God, shaped by prayer and charity

SPIRITUALITY

A simple, evangelical and Cordimarian spirituality lived in everyday life.

The spirituality of the Missionary Daughters of the Heart of Mary springs from a very concrete experience: to keep our gaze fixed on Jesus Christ, to live in union with God, and to serve others with humility, simplicity and charity.

In the life and teachings of Mother María Güell we discover a deeply Gospel-centered path: a trusting prayer, a carefully nurtured interior life, and a concrete dedication to the poor, the sick and those in need.

This is not a spirituality separated from daily life, but a way of living each day with the heart rooted in God, attentive to His will and available for the good of others.

KEY FEATURES OF THIS SPIRITUALITY

Christ-centered

Everything begins with Jesus: to know Him, love Him and follow Him faithfully in daily life.

This spirituality is also lived in the light of the Virgin Mary’s example, model of humility, simplicity, listening and fidelity.
