All for the Heart of Jesus through the Heart of Mary.
"We are protagonists of our present; we are the actual builders of this history. God wants to write - through our hearts, through our lives and fiats - the history of salvation: a history of love, of grace, of life, of communion and of holiness."
(Mother Adela, Foundress SCTJM)
The "Servants of the Pierced Hearts of Jesus and Mary" are a diocesan religious institute founded in 1990 by Mother Adela Galindo in the Archdiocese of Miami, Florida, USA.
We are members of the Council of Major Superiors of Women Religious (CMSWR).
“We are called to manifest the reign of love of the Pierced Hearts of Jesus and Mary as the building force for the construction of a new civilization.” Mother Adela
Our Foundress offers the Holy Father the love and unconditional fidelity of our foundation.
Our Spiritual Charism
To be a living image and presence of the Heart of Mary in the heart of the Church and place our Marian charism at the service of the Petrine principle.
Fundamental Dimensions of Our Charism:
- EUCHARISTIC...Total dedication of our lives in love to the Eucharistic Heart
- MARIAN...Being a living image and presence of the Heart of Mary
- CHARISMATIC...Actively receiving and communicating the gifts of the Holy Spirit
- IN THE HEART OF THE CHURCH...Generously placing our feminine genius in loving communion and service of the Petrine Principle
Our Four Vows
- Poverty: with a generous and diligent heart, to detach myself of all things to have the Heart of Jesus as my only inheritance and treasure and to freely give all that I am and have for the common good of our Institute.
- Chastity: with a spousal and undivided heart, to love the Heart of Jesus with a total, oblative and unconditional dedication and to be open to receive and communicate the fecundity that flows from the potency of this communion of love.
- Obedience: with a receptive and docile heart, to responsibly and effectively dispose myself to fulfill the designs of love of the Heart of Jesus manifested through my legitimate superiors and the government of our Institute.
- Total Marian Availability: to be a living image and presence of the Heart of Mary and to generously dispose the potentialities of my feminine genius in loving communion and service of the Petrine principle, thus enfleshing our Marian charism in the Heart of the Church.
