About Us:

"Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world. And I consecrate myself for them, so that they aslo may be consecrated in truth."

(John 17:17-19)

"God singled out the week of this world to shame the strong. He chose the world's lowborn and despised, those who count for nothing, to reduce to nothing those who were something; so that mankind can do no boasting before God. God is who has given you life in Christ Jesus. He has made him our wisdom and also our justice, our sanctification, and our redemption."

(from a letter of St. Paul to Corinthians 1:27-30)

"Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd, is still looking for His lost sheep around the world. He gives us faith, calling and wisdom to take part in His Cross for the lost sheep. Our Lord Jesus Christ 'chose the world's lowborn and despised, those who count for nothing' to be His servants in His Vineyard. We name them 'Rags;' we are unworthy servants to God and do whatever He orders us to do. We were called by Jesus Christ Our Lord, not by human beings."

(Founder Father Louis Kim)

Our Lady of La Salette;

St. Augustine;

St. Benedict;

St. Francis and St. Clare;

Blessed Chares de Fucauld.

Our Principles:

Missionaries of the Holy Cross and Our Lady of Sorrows follow the Rule of Our Lady of Sorrows in La Salette, France that Our Blessed Mother dictated to the visionary for the specific qualifications to be a missionary.     1.    Our Missionaries will love God above all things and their neighbor as themselves out of pure love of God.   2.    The spirit of Missionaries is no other than the spirit of Jesus Christ in itself and spirit of Jesus Christ in the souls.   3.     Missionaries will apply themselves to the study of Jesus Christ and to the imitation of Him. The more Jesus is known the more will they humble themselves at the sight of their nothingness, of their weakness, of their incapacity for doing real good in the souls without divine grace.   4.     Missionaries will practice perfect obedience in everything and everywhere.   5.    Each one will safeguard himself herself in great chastity of body and spirit so that Jesus Christ may make his abode in them.   6.    Missionaries will be of one heart and one soul in the love of Jesus Christ.   7.    None of them will have the ownership of anything. Everything will be common property. No one will strive in the least for the possession of transient things. The Blessed Mother wants her children to be free, to renounce all things.    8.     Missionaries will have limitless charity. They will suffer unto themselves all things from everybody, following the example of their divine Master and they will not come suffering to others.   9.     Missionaries will obey their superiors and they will honour and respect them which is their due, with great simplicity of heart.   10.    The superior is to keep alert that the rule is obeyed. From time to time he will discuss the matter with the Father of the Mission who will have the care of your souls, so that he will be assisted in governing the each house wisely. The superior will be the humblest of all and stricter with himself than with others. He will correct the faults of the brothers with great gentleness and prudence. The superior will always raise his soul up to God before he corrects a brother.   11.    The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed in the chapel day all night in the months of September, February and May at which time missionaries will joyously spend happy hours in so far as charity or the salvation of souls does not keep from doing so.   12.    Missionaries will lead an inner life and at the same time they will have outwardly works to do. They will unite the contemplative life with the active. They will make themselves complete victims of Jesus and of the crucified Jesus.   13.    Everyday they will receive the Bread of Life with true piety. You could, however, withhold communions to those missionaries who are not following in the steps of the crucified Jesus.   14.     In addition to the fasting commanded by the Church, missionaries will also keep the months of September, February and May in fasting, making use of some instruments of penance. Those who are too delicate and not able to carry out the works of penance will offer up to Jesus in all humility and meekness their frailty.   15.    Missionaries will fast every Friday and carry out some penance. Through all these works missionaries will sacrifice for the souls in Purgatory, for the conversion of sinners and towards their own progress in the love of God.   16.    Missionaries will act with great humility and gentleness toward the secular and will receive them with great kindness. The most humble will have the first place in the Heart of Jesus Christ as well as in the Blessed Mother.   17.     Missionaries will be of one soul and one heart; not one will hold fast to his own will.   18.     They will be of angelic purity; they will observe everywhere and everything in great modesty.   19.    All Missionaries will observe profound silence, careful to avoid useless conversation with strangers.   20    Those who wish to be admitted must have a sincere willingness to give themselves totally to God and to sacrifice themselves for His love. They will grow found of obedience which will lead them to Heaven.   21.    Missionaries will not be admitted to postulates until have completed the twelve days of spiritual exercises, whereby they will have make a general confession to the Father of the Mission, the Father Confessor of the communal order. If they are willing to work with all of their efforts to sanctify themselves and to acquire the virtues which are characteristic of a victim who wants to immolate himself everyday for the God of Heaven and earth, they will be admitted to the novitiate, three months before taking the habit of the Congregation. And missionaries will remember well that they have only been admitted to the house of the Mother of God, in order to work towards their own sanctification through prayer, penance and all works which aim to achieve the glory of God and the salvation of souls.   22. Missionaries will be the Apostles of the Last Days. They will preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ Our Lord in all its purity all over the world. Missionaries will have an untiring ardour; they will preach the reform of hearts, penance and the observance of God's laws; they will necessity for prayer of contempt for the things of this earth, about death, judgement, paradise and hell, about Life, Passion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ Our Lord.
