Priestly and Liturgical Ministry
The Sister Disciples of the Divine Master (PDDM), like Mary and the women of the Gospel, are sent as apostles to proclaim, celebrate and serve Jesus the Divine Master, the Way, the Truth and the Life Him through the ministries flowing from the EUCHARIST, the PRIESTHOOD and the LITURGY.
To live evermore profoundly the Eucharist as the mystery of Christ is our way of being alive and active in the heart of the Church. We dedicate ourselves to continual praise and take on the ministry of intercession for the proclamation of the Gospel through the communications network and for the needs of all. We become the voice of humanity before the Lord present in the Eucharist: bringing life’s realities to prayer and interceding that humanity may welcome, listen to and love Jesus Master and Savior.
Our Eucharistic experience is then transformed into concrete testimony of life in an austere and dignified service responsive to the needs and exigencies of the local Churches. This impels us to help and contribute in the pastoral development of the Church: promoting priestly vocations and collaborating in their formation; assisting and accompanying the priests in the exercise of their ministry, in their difficult moments and in their old age.
Living and active members of the Church, we work to help people nourish their relationship with the Lord. We creatively place at the service of the Liturgy, the richness of various artistic expressions: painting, sculpture, architecture, music, embroidery and other handicrafts in order that prayer may be characterized by beauty and dignity. We render services in terms of liturgical catechesis and formation, biblical-liturgical animations, always in view of drawing people closer to the Lord.
In the local Church of the Philippines, our various initiatives aim to contribute to the ongoing liturgical formation and renewal of the worshipping community.
Blessed James Alberione, our Founder, exhorts us to… “Live and give Jesus the Truth, the Way and the Life to the world!”
