The home shrine is at the center of our married and family life as a domestic church. We form our daily life according to the covenant with our Blessed Mother. We practice a dialogue with each other, with our children and with God and develop our own unique family customs. As parents and children we educate each other to an active responsibility for all tasks of life (job, school, parish, politics, etc.).
In order to keep our relationship with God and with each other alive we uphold the following:
- the celebration of the Eucharist,
- couple communication,
- study of writings by our founder,
- regular periods of personal reflection.
As a Secular Institute within the Church we follow Christ according to the evangelical counsels. With this in mind we have developed appropriate modern family forms.
A further element of the community is the encounter with each other. We meet regularly to share and discuss how we are getting on in life. We meet for training as well as the chance to deepen our spirituality. This all provides us with direction, strength and motivation to commit to the areas within our own life.
