Pilgrim progress- a disciple on a journey!

Founded in 1924 by Blessed James Alberione, we pray daily and come in Adoration to carry the needs of the Church and humanity, interceding for the different forms of media and for truth and goodness in their use. We draw strength there for our mission which is expressed in hospitality, support and service, particularly to priests and indeed to all God’s people. Our mission ripples out further as we promote liturgical formation and animation. This includes the production and distribution of sacred art which is available through our Liturgical Centres, a new way of evangelization which encourages an appreciation for beauty and dignity in the liturgy.  Every gift and talent can be used to serve God. Some of the sisters share:  “The Lord has always been near to me. At every stage He says: “Do not be afraid, I am with you.” Jesus says to all those searching: “Do not be afraid. I love you, you are precious in my eyes.” (Sr. Mary) “My favourite Scripture is that of from John 20:11-

Litany of Spiritual Confidence ( R/  Lord, keep me close to You.)  Lord, I can do all that You ask of me because it is You who strengthen me. R/ Lord, whenever I fall You delight in my confidence to trust You all the more. R/ Lord, let me look to You and not to myself to find what is needed to please You. R/ Lord, when I am overcome by fear it is because my peace depends on some thing instead of on Your will. R/ Lord, free me from my hidden attachments to self-righteousness. R/ Lord, let me always remember that it is You who move me to ask for Your love. R/ Lord, help me to see that the meaning of my faults is to learn to depend on You more and more. R/ Lord, give me the strength to cry out for Your love when all that I see is nothingness in myself. R/ Lord, save me from the impulse to look for my peace and security in my own strength. R/ Lord, the more you let me see what I am left to myself, the more You give me the grace to cling to You. R/
