As we approach the anniversary of the foundation of our congregation. 
We celebrate  not a memory, we celebrate the living and thriving mission begun in 1834 by St Maria De Mattias.
We Adorers continue this great mission of LOVE and COMPASSION. 
Today, St Maria would be reminding us to have courage, trust in God and believe in miracles.  She would remind us to always have a heart for our dear neighbor, especially the poor and vulnerable.
Our world today needs us, we are continually becoming the Adorers of the Blood of Christ, the living spirit of St Maria DeMattias is present in each sister throughout the world, in 25 Countries. 
Why are we here? For God to be present, to be revealed through our journey of life, our thoughts, our actions on behalf of justice, peace, the integrity of all creation. These times call us to faithfulness, to courage and to communion.  We are called to be witnesses of mercy, reconciliation, and peacebuilding.  We seek to be “prophecy with our credible and authentic presence, sowers of hope with deeply listening hearts, and promoters of communion”? (XXII General Assembly)
What would St Maria DeMattias say to us today…BE WOMEN WITH A HEART FOR ALL.
So now, let’s hear some of her daughters speak of what St Maria would say today…
