Historic
MADONNA HOUSE is a community of men and women laymen dedicated, and of priests. We are a family of the Catholic church, dedicated to the love and the Christ's service in each of us and in all men. Our center of formation is in Combermere, Ontario, a small situated village to about 300 kilometers to the northeast of Toronto and to 140 kilometers to the west of Ottawa, in the valley of the Madawaska. About the half of the few 200 members lives and work, either in the center of formation or elsewhere in the apostolate in Combermere.

The other members œuvrent in 22 foundations: to Canada, to the United States, in the Antilles, in England, in France, in Brazil and in Africa. Every foundation receives a mandate of the bishop of the local diocese. Some of the foundations serve the bodily needs of the local population, others are mainly "houses of welcome" and monitoring. Catherine Doherty, our founder, said that the solitude is the biggest poverty of the modern times. In each of our houses, the most important vocation is to form a community of love, and to open our cœurses and our house to the other. Madonna House welcomes the visitors who wish to live and to work more or less with the community during one period long.

During the holy week, I gave some teachings, after the lunch, and I thought that some could make office, for you, of a letter to all our members. I shared them in depth with those that are here and I would like to make in the same way with you that are far. Today holy Thursday, it is the day of the ministration. Astonishing, mysterious, impenetrable day, if you think there, because it is the one where the Christ instituted the ministration. This truth is as simple as incredible because the gospel told us that after his/her/its resurrection and before his/her/its ascension, Jesus reprimands his disciples because they were not very happy to see to leave him toward his/her/its Father. What seems a contradiction, because, actually, Jesus didn't want to leave us. It is obvious all along the gospel! And because he/it didn't want either to leave us, now we have the priests. In his/her/its immense love for us, He/it chooses some men among those that had worked and had conversed with Him, of the men that << would raise It >> and could share with us this Bread and this Wine that he/it told to give us for the eternal life. Yes, through the intermediary of these men, He/it gave us to drink << the white-water >> of which He/it had spoken to the woman of Samarie. Once again, his/her/its incredible love is made us visible.

You that come to Madonna House, looking for God... or of least looking for something... unless it is only curiosity... are you ever yourselves asked why we had one so big love for the priests? Why do we raise ourselves when they arrive to table for the meals? Why do we speak them with a respectful simplicity? The answer is easy: because when a priest enters in this house, it is the Christ that between. Us soaps by the faith. At the time of his/her/its ordination, a plain man (and therefore sinner) goes up three steps to the altar. Another more aged man, the bishop, spreads the hands on his/her/its head. After the ceremonial and the prayers, the man who descends to mingle with his/her/its brothers is priest of God. Who can touch the mystery of this incredible event? Once I visited Rome, a priest of a religious order told to me that one of their bishops, of passage in Moscow, must order three priests in the toilets! He/it is not therefore need of three walks, a choir and an elaborate ritual... a human being who wants to be a priest is sufficient and of a bishop to order it. With the fullness of the divine power that the bishop possesses, he can order a man in the toilets if it is necessary!


When one achieves it, it is not astonishing that one falls on the knees, all absorbed and enveloped by the mystery of God's love for us, God didn't want to let us orphans. He/it wanted to give us someone some that we can see his/her/its resemblance, not his/her/its physical resemblance, but what he/it is really, the lover, the Soft, The one that forgives, the Servant, someone that would make that that ll made: to wash the feet of the humanity. But he/it made more again! He/it gave to the priest a special power, so that when this one pronounces some words, it is the Christ who washes our soul and hugs us in the love and the reconciliation, therefore, the Christ comes to us with a love of such a simplicity that we should have short breath of it.. He/it comes to us under a priest's appearance! You will tell to me: << has the priests sinners who make inexpensive of their liabilities and get married without dispensation. >> You say it because, in this country, one didn't give you a good knowledge of that that is really the ministration. It is why you can understand only << the seal of the ministration >> has been engraved in the soul of this poor man sinner by the fire of the holy mind and the Father's hand. And this grant or this mark of predilection, cannot be erased ever.

When, in Russia, the last priest died in my city (he was killed under my eyes), if I had learned that he remained one of it again, loaded of all deadly sins (and living maybe with his/her/its mistress) I would have gone while crawling to see this man to receive the divine grants that he could give me. I would not have worried not at all about his/her/its mistress and his/her/its other reprehensible actions because the faith passes through all it. She/it tears the fronting that I could have seen, a priest's physical presence in state of sin, to show me the interior reality. In the faith, I would have seen sudden this man transfigured in the divine glory.

I would have since, the day of his/her/its ordination, this man had been transfigured in the Christ in a marvelous, incredible and completely inexplicable way because it is a mystery. I would have known that the Christ in would have given me to him the absolution, that he/it is a sinner or no.

It is there about something elusive, of a deep mystery that passes us. Recall yourselves it therefore if you are ever facing the death in circumstances as those that I knew during the Russian revolution. I would have crawled until this man to tell to him: << Father I ask you to hear my confession and to give me the money that is she <'' food for the journey".> I would not have worried about the man because I would have seen the Christ in him.
You ask one thousand questions on the priest and number among them are out topic... Why do some get married do make this or it? Hey well, it is their human side; but the Christ stays in them, still the Christ! Because they are human beings as us, they can bind it as us, as we can also make it by our sins, and to flog it and to crown it of thorns. But there is something in the priest who is different from all others, it is that the Christ Himself is going to come untied some him, if someone needs Him. Let's not forget that the twelve apostles were not perfect men. One left Jesus and the other disowned it momentarily! One only attended to the crucifixion and all others turned Him the back merely to run as far that their legs could carry them, very far from the Golgotha. These were very plain people! It is humanly that too often we judge our priests (smile hiring, vast knowledge, expertise and this or it.) I dare to say that all it is only very secondary. We should not judge a priest to his/her/its good mine, his/her/its education and the rest, but to satisfy us to look at it while saying: <God thank you, he/it is there>. He/it is indeed one of the main signs of God's love for us. (I don't yet understand how we have fifteen priests in Madonna House whereas, in the world, the thousands of parishes don't have some. But, evidently, God's ways is impenetrable! ) Approach a priest therefore while achieving that thanks to his/her/its ordination <he/it carries God> of a manner all special. Let's approach it as we would approach the Christ.

You, the women, keep yourselves perfectly pure of heart and mind. So, to get married, a priest gives up his ministerial duties, tell yourselves although the woman is nearly more responsible than He. We are all of the clay vases that the women have the duty to carry in what I would call it <<veil of Véronique >> with which, says the legend, she/it wiped the Christ's face. This act of charity was worth him to keep the print of it on the veil... veil of which we should envelop our vases of clay bus if the Christ that we carry, shine through us, we won't tempt the priests. It is good to remember that, in the ministration, our heart is directly facing the one of the Christ. Let's must us, of no way, to seduce the man as that, by his/her/its ordination, made vow of chastity. It would be sufficient to say Jesus' name to calm our heart and to slow down our senses.

To understand the direction spiritual p. 523
Incidentally, we have there the essence of the spiritual direction. A priest is not someone that we are going to see with all our psychological problems... nor because X, THERE or Z was not agreeable with us, You are going to see a priest to say: << Father, I sinned. >> You go there so that he/it absolves you, and to tell to him: << Father, show me the path toward God. >> The Holy spirit teaches it and it is by it that we find God more easily than if we made it only. About what expertise is it? The priest who is held before the one that he/it directs is above all there for good to listen to it, His/her/its heart has two ears: one to listen to the holy mind, the other to listen to you. (The Christ who is some makes him it possible.) Saint Jean of the Cross, this big saint, said the spiritual director: << He/it doesn't make anything else that to supervise the work of the holy mind in a soul and, because he/it receives the Trinidad an infinite grace, he/it can make advance this soul on the path of the union to God. >> I have been baptized in the death and Christ's resurrection but it is only a first step toward this union God's. The spiritual director helps me to perfect this union with God. Without him, I won't arrive there without difficulty because I would be crushed by the weight of the day. One can only deny us have all requirement of the help of the spiritual direction to advance on the path of the Paradise. I open him the very essence of my soul so that he/it can, so possible, to drive me to God by a << abridgment >>.

The priest's heart, as the one of the Christ, is transfixed by the spear of the love. But we owe all to pray so that, in his/her/its heart, this love doesn't stop growing. With the transfixed heart as the one of the Christ was, they will make us thus, you and me, to raise us spiritually. And is not - this not for what we look... to be raised toward the Christ? This spiritual direction is what we wait for our priests. A priest's love is a blessing, because it is God who likes us. It is because God knows that we are human, frail, sinners, full of doubts and for fear that he gave us some men to show us the love... His/her/its love! the divine love as much that human rests in a priest's heart. It is a really magnificent thought: his/her/its heart is a chalice in which meets a the man and God thanks to the one that God ordered to show to the world the Christ's love. Indeed, it should make fly off our faith in the cosmoses! The priest is a man called to be another Christ, who lives to serve, that is let itself crucify himself in order to can, him also, to be raised and to attract all thing to the Christ. The priest is a man in love with God. He/it is God's grant the man's and the man to God. (I had, one moment, hoped that my son would be a priest. So God had wanted it, it would have been the biggest of his/her/its grants. But he/it didn't want it.) The priest is the sign of the Verb makes flesh, the sword of God's justice, the hand of God's mercy and the reflection of God's love; nothing on earth, if it is not God Himself, is not bigger than a priest! It is holy Thursday. in this holy day, of the holiest of the weeks, the ministration (as us understand it) took birth in the world. That day, the Saint Eucharist was instituted for our food. The Last Supper became the meal of the beggars, nourishing the divine life of the poor sinners that we add. The supreme grant that a priest can offer to our world is therefore well this divine sacrifice that feeds us God!

I know that when I tempt to speak of the ministration my language is clumsy. I am not able to really nothing to say; how to speak of the love of God demonstrated under a man's shape! Lovingly yours in Marie.

The spiritual Directors January 08 1964 p. 267

I would like, today, to maintain you of several questions. I start with the most important that is the one of the spiritual direction without which renouncement and consecration will be for you, slow to put in work, and difficult to support, prolonging of as much the anxious waiting and saddened of the Lord.

One could believe that you understand it, as it is besides the case of most of you. You know that, by the Fathers of the church, God clearly showed us that we could not do without spiritual direction. It is why all Catholics should have recourse there. Saint Jean of the Cross, doesn't have--t he/it doesn't say that" only an insane heads himself' "The dedicated people would have to, more that all others, to observe this practice. It is a grace that will make them achieve their poverty and their weakness better. We need a spiritual guide on the narrow road that leads to the Paradise because the demon takes pleasure to place the misleading indications and all there especially at the important crossroads.

I believe that, for most, you recognize this necessity and chose a director when you were in Madonna House, in Combermere. But, now that you are in mission, ask yourselves for what reports you kept with him, The spiritual direction should continue by correspondence, For your perfection and the one of the apostolate, it is of a vital importance that you wrote to your director at least two times per month. This holy priest must know the mental, emotional and spiritual state all your to be. Besides, even makes it to express you confidential way in writing is a factor of peace for your soul. The Christ, the big Director Spirituel who is behind the one that you chose, already blesses you and, without you realized it, often bring you a beginning of answer while making take down on you a deep peace. This because you showed evidence of humility and dependence opposite the priest that he/it chose to guide you.

While submitting you to the spiritual direction, you took the best precaution that either against the pride, that is the worse hostile of a Christian, the surest path for the hell. Because it is the pride that is the son of the demon, his/her/its very gas, that made him throw to God, in the infinity of the heaven, his/her/its terrifying challenge: "" Non SERVIAM I know that, strangely enough among you, some, by pure spiritual laziness, continue to doubt, to the bottom of themselves, of the necessity to communicate the state of their soul to the one that is for you another Christ, the priest that you chose, to drive you on the verdant hills of the Lord,. He/it helps you to lead this life of perfection and holiness to which you advised yourselves solemnly at the time of your promise in the Saint Sacrament; to throw into question the necessity of a spiritual direction, it question God, the church and popes........... You could answer me qu you are going to write or that you already made it but that you only received little a letter satisfactory or maybe same no. I retell you that it must not disrupt you because, in fact, you wait for a human consolation... What can be pleasant, but it is sometimes preferable to pass itself/themselves of it. The spiritual direction wants that you revealed your soul to your director. With the confidence of a child and an unreservedly love, let him all responsibility knowing, in the faith, that his/her/its silence, his/her/its brief words or even his/her/its answers little satisfactory are the means that God chooses to form you. It must not make stop you to write to him.

You must understand that if you only receive short answers or even no, your letters are sources of immense graces. Don't forget that the Christ, the big Director Spirituel, is between you and Him. Once your accomplished duty, the one of your director is to look after what the holy mind guides you. If your letters require an answer, be certain that you will receive it. But keep your soul in the love and the confidence, and continue to write, even though this silence gives you the impression to make it in vain. Your letter arrived to a man who is another Christ and that knows the state of your soul; it now has the responsibility of it. He/it doesn't remain you, with the graces, that to savor the deep peace that you feel after having written. The spiritual direction has as much importance for you that for the whole apostolate. Indeed courage, the renouncement and the consecration of all depend some because our strength cannot surpass the weakest link... Those among us that endeavor to acquire a" independence and an illusory individuality" dig themselves an emotional tomb. After all, it is God the best of the psychiatrists;. the obedience, the confidence, the exemption and the love are at a time gas and the fruit of the big command of love that God gave us. In not observing it, us us détruisons.Pensez to the obedience. She/it won't heal us and won't make us grow spiritually if it is necessary for us to know always why we obey, because it becomes then an act dictated by the reason. This is how obey the men, that it was about their business or their regards. But this obedience is not more the fruit of the love that of joy. If you have child's heart, full trustworthy in the one that gives some orders - and by the superior, it is always God who gives them; you immediately obey with joy and without asking questions. It is then only that will be observed the mind of the law and that the one of poverty will shine in all the burst of his/her/its splendor.

The abandonment of our own will is the coronation of poverty, which is the foundation of the love that permits to grow and to grow. Such is the role of the obedience that makes disappear depression and feeling of guilt. The heart is flooded then of joy and, in the apostolate, life becomes happy and fruitful....... Catherine

My beloved, more information

He/it seems that we would have to, once besides, to clarify the question of the spiritual directors. Let's review what we already know some therefore quickly. He/it is likely that in Madonna House one of his/her/its members doesn't ignore the life of perfection to which we are called only, require a total consecration. However, to live it in poverty, the chastity and the obedience, us must have a spiritual director.. The waters of life are turbulent and dangerous, it is why SATAN AIME TO to PLACE SOME AMBUSHES ON THE PATH... We need a guide, it is obvious.

We generally know how us there to take to choose a spiritual director. It is necessary to pray very strong before, these are very important relations that we bind with the Christ - priest. Also, must ask ourselves to direct us toward the person who invites. He/it will make it maybe while giving us a certain spiritual attraction, thanks to a sermon or to one retirement, for such priest who will have said some spiritual truth that goes us right to the heart, It is by such indications that God can direct us toward him. Once we found it, we must have with him a child's simplicity. We must like it supernaturally as we like God, while granting him a total confidence and an absolute obedience. Otherwise, we would not have spiritual director need. If we try to skew with him, as human beings even make it with God, we encourage Satan to trap us. One cannot act thus with God. These rules concern everybody, as well in the apostolate that to the outside. But us that add some apostles laymen, we must encourage to take a spiritual director those with that and for that we work, I repeat that to pass is himself pure madness of it, it comes back to be completely without guide in the middle of an immense desert inconnu.Mais he/it would be no less silly and ridiculous to choose like spiritual director someone that ignores the apostolate completely and I insist completely" on the word."

P. 319

... Your epistolary relations with a spiritual director are very different from what they are with me, I know that you like your spiritual directors, but you don't make to them enough confidence. Write them without fear, It is of your soul that it is about. The priests have the grace wanted to read between the lines. Don't worry of your style, nor of your grammar, nor of whatever it is of this kind. Trust a whole God. He/it will make so that the priest perfectly understands the poorest letter. If you don't receive an immediate answer, don't forget that God cannot give it to you a long time before strong, sometimes same before you are face-to-face... It also can happen that she/it reaches you very slowly... what is a divine way to clarify your possible doubts. He/it happens to more that, at the time, the answer has no sense for you, but if you think there, it will lighten. The silence of the spiritual director is maybe a means to teach you the patience and to learn you to develop confidence and obedience; it also wants that this problem that it understands very well, makes in you his/her/its path while it prays to your intention. Are the reasons of this delay able in fact, to explain themselves of one thousand ways who, well fortunately, do escape us and who don't have another goal that to make grow your faith and your confidence, do you Begin to understand this that I want to say?.

Therefore, when you are going to find a spiritual director of Madonna House, you must like, trust and obey. Send you as far as God, continue to let direct you by him. It is the intelligent and supernatural solution if you want to become indeed holy and to live the mind of Madonna House perfectly..... Catherine

Chastity poetic p.511
The theologians spoke in scholarly words; the chastity

They tells, was continence...
She/it was far. She/it held to part.
She/it lived on summits... snow-white...
Of difficult access and reached it little.
They scrutinized more
In the cold rooms of the former cities
And the comfort of the new metropolises.
They dissected the chastity and when they had finished,
They gathered the all.
It seemed so shiny... so cold... dead
Maybe... because too handled.
A prostitute descended their street
His/her/its made up eyes were understanding, the painted mouth, tender and soft.
The body that waved, young,
A small child came to her and says;
<< You feel good so: I like you. >>
The girl blushes and lowered itself to kiss the small face,
So pure, so innocent. It kiss it of the very chastity.

To see the mechanism of it.
She/it shone like a blinding light.
A woman-child, a ponytail in the back
Passed while singing an air of jazz.
A man stopped, turned around and followed it,
The heart full of desire and lust.
But she/it turned around...
He/it looked at it in the eyes.
And moved away quickly...
Because the chastity had smiled to him
In all his/her/its purity.
A mother of large family came then...
The step and the heavy body.
Loaded many bags, and of a chubby baby.
The men smiled and the women also...
Because the chastity passed by there
Fruitful and fertile.
The theologians didn't know.
The face of the chastity...
Because they had dissected it

A secular life in full world

The missionaries of the Christ's Royalty

There is not anything more sublime than to bring the Christ in the world. Be happy to be missionary of the King of love, Peace, Justice and Holiness" (The Pope Jean-Paul II).

A Franciscan secular Institute

This secular Institute applies to all generous women who want to give to their life a full output, while staying in the middle of the world, to work to establish the Christ's reign everywhere on our earth.

Who are these women?

These are the women, adults in the faith, who decided to walk on the Christ's traces, like François of foundation, in the dedicated celibacy, lived in full world, in order to reveal the gospel, by all humans,.

What do they make?

Since their entry in the institute, the Missionaries get to the service of the church, while being the Christ's presence in the world, by the achievement of their professional work. It is there their first place of engagement.

How do they testify?

Witnesses of the gospel, to the manner of François of foundation of which they marry the spirituality, the Missionaries of the Christ's Royalty don't have for goal to present a very determined program, but to say to the world, of life, according to the charisma of each, forms by them a particular manner to be Christian. These are the needs of the middle where they live that their field of action delimits.

How do they live?

Fed by one life of prayer adapted to the clean rhythm of each, they live the mind of the beatitudes, as leaven in the dough, mingled at the world while staying unknown of the world, sowing the peace and joy. The Missionaries of the Christ's Royalty keep the incognito, even within their family and achieve their mission without revealing their adherence in a secular Institute.

What ties do they exist between them?

The Missionary in the world is not alone. A brotherly mind unites all members of the institute and express himself in frequent meetings between them, especially on the occasion of the récollections and the yearly retirement.

A little history

It is to Foundation (Italy), in 1919, that is born the Secular institute of the Missionaries of the Christ's Royalty, on the initiative of the Chairwoman of the Feminine Youth of Italy, Armida Barelli and of the founder of the university of Milan, the Father Agostino Gemelli, Franciscan. The church approved this Institute and declared it of papal right, August 3, 1953. This feminine secular Institute took such a development that his/her/its 4000 members exercise today their apostolate in twenty-eight countries through the world. To Canada, the Missionaries of the Christ's Royalty are established in the diocese of Montreal, since October 6, 1958. Other dioceses also count the members that work to the expansion of Kingdom and want, following François, to make like the love that is not liked anymore!

The Christ calls

All women, between 25 and 40 years that are anxious to answer the love and the needs of their brothers and sisters, in a dedicated celibacy can join to this portion of the Franciscan family so long as they have a good human balance and will to make to God the total grant of themselves. Whatever is your profession, you have an important role maybe to play in the mission of the church to give back the Christ in the world.

To whom to address you?

SPEECH OF THE POPE JEAN-PAUL II TO THE PRIESTS MISSIONNAIRES OF THE CHRIST'S ROYALTY
Tuesday July 8, 20

Very dear Missionaries of the Christ's Royalty!

1. I am happy to welcome you in this particular audience, on the occasion of the fiftieth birthday of the foundation of your secular Institute. I address my cordial greetings to your President and I thank it for the polite words through which he/it made himself/itself the inerprète of the common feelings. My salute spreads to all present people and all your colleagues who work in different countries of Europe, Africa and Latin America, with a loving thought for the patients, the aged people and, in particular, for the young that, in number growing, feel attracted by the missionary charisma of your spiritual family.

Your foundation took place October 4, 1953 in the church "San Damiano", to Foundation. It is about an opportunity happy to return thanks to the Lord of the so numerous fruits of good who arrived to maturity until today, and to leave with a renewed missionary impetus, while announcing the gospel to the men and to the women of the third millennium.

2. According to your founder's original intuition, the Father Agostino Gemelli, your secular Institute is characterized like a ministerial fraternity, in which each, faithful to God's intention, achieves its own consecration to the service of the church, germ and beginning on the earth of the Christ's Kingdom (cf. LG, N. 5). While inspiring you François saint of foundation, you live "the ministerial ministry according to the model of life that the Christ indicated to his first disciples, while inviting them to all to leave for him and for the gospel" (Constitutions, n. 3; cf. PC 3). Pursue this demanding ascetic and apostolic itinerary, but liberating, while returning thanks to the Lord every day of your ministerial ministry, grant and divine love mystery.

3. Keep living your founder's charisma, while adapting it to the new social status and cultural of our time. Your ecclesiastic service will be fruitful if you keep a constant contact with the Christ in the prayer, and if you always cultivate more the communion with the bishop and with the college of the priests of the dioceses to which you belong. Be missionaries full of goodwill and generous devotion for your brothers. That the ardor to evangelism drags you in an apostolate that doesn't know any borders. As I wrote it in the exhortation apostolic Pastores dabo vobis, the spiritual grant received by the priests with the ordination prepares "them not to a limited and restricted mission, but to a mission of universal size salute, "until the extremities of the earth" (Ac 1, 8) ". It is why the spiritual life of the priests must be marked deeply by the impetus and the missionary dynamism" (cf. n. 32).

4. Very dear brothers! While thanking you for this visit that takes place in the setting happy of the jubilee celebrations of your Institute, I exhort you above all to stretch toward the holiness and to make the priority of your existence of it, in order to become to your tower of the witnesses and the masters of evangelical perfection. The spirituality clean to the missionaries of the Christ's Royalty, that is secular and ministerial, represent a meaningful heritage that must be vested to the service of the a lot of church.
I confide your ministerial Fraternity to the immaculate Virgin. That Marie, Queen and particular protector of your Institute, help you to achieve the mission that has been confided you for your sanctification and for the salute of the souls. While assuring you a constant memory in the prayer, I bless you with affection, as well as your present colleagues through the world and all those that you meet on the occasion of your daily pastoral work.
