Missionary Jubilee in Bolivia

In this Jubilee Year for the universal Church, with hearts full of gratitude and
hope, we have the joy of also celebrating the 50th anniversary of the missionary presence of our
Institute in Bolivia.
It was the Holy Year 1975 when the Foundress, Mother Margherita Maria Guaini, in Rome
at St. Peter's Basilica, handed the missionary crucifix to Sister M. Teodora, Sister
M. Luisa, and Sister M. Giampaola, the three pioneers who at the end of November of
that year would leave to bring the joy of the Gospel among the campesinos of the
Prelature of Aiquile.
For the Institute, still young in its foundation, it was the first missionary experience outside
Italy, and with much faith and enthusiasm the Sisters set out on their journey, driven by the
apostolic passion of Mother Margherita, to make known to all the wonderful value
of the Sacrifice of Jesus the Priest, made present in the celebration of Holy Mass, and to give
value to the least, with the means provided by Providence.
And now our hearts are full of gratitude to the Lord who has accompanied and blessed
the journey of these fifty years with the opening of various Communities in different areas of
Bolivia, from the Andean Highlands to the Tropics, with local vocations and works of charity in
favor of women, youth, and the elderly.
We therefore join our Superior General, the Sisters of the Communities of Bolivia,
Peru, and Uruguay, the Brother Priests, Deacons and Professed, the local MAN Groups, the
Oblate Mges and the Perpetual Rosary Group who on Thursday, November 20, in the Cathedral
of Cochabamba will celebrate together with many faithful the Holy Mass of thanksgiving for
this jubilee.

A MISSION

Our specific mission is to make Jesus the Eternal Priest known, loved, and imitated, proclaiming and bearing witness to the greatness of the Sacrifice of the Mass, through evangelization and catechesis, to inspire love and devotion to the Eucharist, awakening in every baptized person the personal priestly dignity and the practice of offering one's own existence in union with the offering of Christ. Furthermore, we ensure that Priests are esteemed and helped by the faithful, as well as raising awareness for collaboration towards those who suffer, who are poor and marginalized, whose cry rises to God, imploring help.

SHARED GIFT

The Holy Spirit gave Mother Margherita Maria Guaini, our Foundress, the gift of welcoming and responding to a question mystically gathered from the lips of Jesus: “What profit is my Blood if no one makes it count?” (cf. Ps 30:10),

sharing in the universal thirst for salvation of Christ the Priest, making known, appreciated, and lived the mystery of the Holy Mass, in which He, through the ministry of Priests, continues to offer to the Father his unique and universal redeeming sacrifice.

AWARENESS

The concrete way of living our discipleship, following Christ the Eternal Priest, is expressed in a continuous act of love, in the humble but total offering of ourselves and our spiritual goods, in union with the offering that Jesus makes of himself to the Father in every Holy Mass, according to the purposes of the Eucharistic Sacrifice: adoring, giving thanks, making reparation, and supplicating for the Church, the sanctification of Priests, and the salvation of humanity.

THE GREATEST GOOD OF THE CHURCH IS THE

HOLY MASS
(Mother Margherita M. Guaini)

IT IS THE SOURCE AND SUMMIT OF ALL CHRISTIAN LIFE
The Constitution Lumen gentium of Vatican II, speaking of the “common priesthood” of all
the faithful, writes: “The faithful, by virtue of their royal priesthood, contribute to the offering
of the Eucharist and exercise their priesthood by receiving the sacraments, with prayer and
thanksgiving, with the witness of a holy life, with self-denial and active charity… By participating in the Eucharistic sacrifice, source and summit of all Christian life,
they offer to God the divine Victim and themselves with it.” (Lumen gentium, 10-11).

At every moment of the day and at this very instant as you read,
countless Holy Masses are being celebrated on earth, at least one
every four or five seconds.
On the altars all over the world, Jesus the Eternal Priest, through the
ministry of the ministering priests, continually offers to God the Father the
sacrifice of his life for the salvation of humanity.
He is the Lamb of God, who with his blood wipes away
the sin of the world.
Join Him, in the situation you are living in this instant, as well as in other
moments of your day, and offer yourself to God too, transforming who you are and what you do
into a song of praise and thanksgiving, saying:

O Jesus Host Our Love

we offer you to the Divine Father

through Mary in all Holy Masses
