SPIRITUAL OBLIGATION:Those active in this work have spiritual and temporal obligations. These obligations are to help hone the spirituality of participants and prepare them for their work. We are therefore looking for inspired men and women, ready to live a thorough Christian life, study, pray, do penance and do active apostolate for the Mother of God. Men and women of charisma, brimming with the spirit of Mary and ready to dedicate their lives to making her known, loved, revered and honoured so that Christ can be better known loved and served. THIS IS THE TIME: This is in keeping with the church's spirit of New Evangelisation 2000. The post synodal Apostolic exhortation - CHRISTIDELES LAICI - OF HIS HOLINESS POPE JOHN PAUL II on the vocation and mission of the lay faithful in the church strongly encourages Catholic groups like this when it says "First of all, the freedom for lay people in the church to form such groups is acknowledged. Such liberty is a true and proper right that is not derived from any kind of concession by authority but flows from the sacrament of baptism which call the lay faithful to participate actively in the church's communion and mission".
