Our name, Adorers of the Blood of Christ, indicates our vocation, our identity and our mission:

called by God and consecrated by the Holy Spirit to witness to the adoring and redeeming love of Jesus toward every person.

Being consecrated to the adoring and redeeming love of Jesus means to live the dynamic of gratuitousness, that is, -- love which becomes gift -- and the dynamic of the primacy of God, that is, to let oneself be transformed by God and become an expression of Love at every moment and circumstance of our lives.

Adoring Christ, who shed his Blood to reveal the gratuitous and unconditional love of God for every person, people and nation makes us capable of risking our lives to witness to the liberating and reconciling power of this love.  

The gratitude and joy which spring from having experienced the adoring and reconciling love of God in our lives prompt us to approach all persons with great respect so that they feel loved and discover the greatness of their dignity because they are worth the Blood of Christ.

In this sense adoration becomes a lifestyle, marked by a passion for life lived in fullness and gratitude with attention to every person. This adoration also calls us to be in solidarity with the crucified persons of today in “an unconditional service for the Reign of God working against all discrimination and exclusion.” (2005 General Assembly Acts).

Therefore the stance that characterizes and expresses our identity in the Church and in the world is “that of remaining faithful beside the cross of Christ” in order to learn from Jesus how to “love until the end,” that is, to give one’s life with joy and passion until the last drop of blood is expended.

Contemplating Jesus who shed every drop of His Blood to reveal the gratuitousness of God’s saving love and the preciousness of every person, we respond to the challenges of today by “making our own the hopes and joys, the grief and anxieties of all people, especially the poor and oppressed.” (Life Charter 35).

The person of Jesus, his fidelity to the saving plan of the Father and his passion for the Reign of God constitute the fundamental and essential elements of our charismatic identity, our raison d’ệtre and our mission: “to collaborate with Christ in his work of redemption by witnessing to God’s love and ministering that love to others, especially the poor, the oppressed and the deprived.”  (Life Charter 3).
