I have no idea how I ran across this site. . .however, I'm intrigued! Check it out. . .The Daughters of St. Philip Neri:

“Let
us concentrate intensely on Christ’s divine love and let us enter
deeply into the wound in His side, into the living font of the wisdom of
God made man, so as to drown ourselves in Him and not be able to find
again the road which leaves Him.” (St. Philip Neri)
These
words capture poignantly the desires and hopes of the Daughters of St.
Philip Neri who seek like their Patron (Heart of Fire and Martyr of
Charity) to enter and remain hidden close to the heart of Christ so that
enflamed by His Spirit of love their lives may become a sacrifice of
praise to God. Reflecting on the difficult situation in which Christ’s
Church struggles, they resolve to make their humble contribution to
renew the life of the Christian faithful and in particular the
priesthood through their dedication to Adoration, Reparation, and
Spiritual Motherhood for Priests.
The
Daughter of St. Philip Neri lives this out in imitation of the Blessed
Virgin Mary by embracing the Will of God in joy and in sorrow, health
and infirmity, prosperity and want, companionship and solitude, light
and obscurity. In a word, she sees in every event of life an opportunity
to enter, with the Blessed Virgin Mary, into the sacrifice of Christ
the Priest. In this way, a Daughter of St. Philip Neri can participate
in the spiritual fecundity of the Mother of the Redeemer who, by her
constant intercession, cares for the gift of life that ever flows from
the open Heart of her Son, and cooperates with a mother’s love in the
birth and upbringing of Christ’s faithful, her children.

This came at an opportune time as I have been thinking lately of the whole "spiritual motherhood" thing ... especially since I already pray and sacrifice A LOT for this one particular priest! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting.
Yeah, my GA got the msg from your GA and that's probably who led me to the site. :-)
DeleteAnd that particular priest benefits daily from your prayer and sacrifice!
