-
A specific missionary spirituality has been characteristic of
the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary since the beginning.
This is an integrated way of perceiving life as Gospel
witness and proclamation. It is centered in the Eucharist, and follows the
way of Francis of Assisi.
-
At the heart of this spirituality is the image of Mary, Mother
of Jesus, who gave herself totally to the plan of God for the
life of the world. The FMM live and share together in community,
where they seek to live a real communion with each other. This
communion becomes a way of communicating the Good News of the
Gospel in the midst of the people to whom they are sent.
-
As channels of peace and reconciliation among different peoples
and religions often opposed to each other, they try to be bridges,
to form bonds. For that reason, the internationality among the
FMM is a path and sign of communion in a world which is fragmented.
This meeting of cultures lived in community opens out to the universal.
