About The Sisters

History

“Our congregation is born from the contemplative and monastic tradition of the Adorers of the Virgin of Guadalupe of the Blessed Sacrament and of Santa María of Guadalupe, established in the Villa of Guadalupe, Mexico City.

At the request of Father J. Jesús Ursua and, with the approval of Bishop José Amador Velasco, our religious order was established in Colima in 1906, with a school for girls.

We were affiliated with the Adorers of Guadalupe until 1924, when we chose to belong to the Order of Perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, founded in Rome by Blessed Mary Magdalene of the Incarnation. Being a contemplative order, every five years we requested the renewal of our permission to run the school for girls. In 1943 that permission was permanently granted.

Responding to the call of the Doctrine of the Second Vatican Council and to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, we sought our place and mission in the Church and in society, resulting in the transformation of the monastery on May 25, 1972, into a new religious congregation adapted to the times and the needed apostolates.

We are women, centered in Jesus, who seek to worship, renew, and create—through initial and ongoing formation—the way to be disciple missionaries, to live in community and to opt for the marginalized and excluded: humanizing, educating and liberating, as Jesus did, so that our brothers and sisters may feel the love that God has for us, and so we collaborate in the extension of the Kingdom of God.

Like the Samaritan woman, we are sent to be a sign of a full humanity, living the charisma of "Worshiping the Father in Spirit and Truth." (John 4:24). In full humanity we recognize our weaknesses and God’s calling to us to free ourselves of them so we can serve our brothers and sisters with love and tenderness, living our virtues.”
