The Pauline Spirituality is centered on the Word of God & Eucharist

Saint Paul the Apostle of universality, is the inspiration of our project of life. He is our model, our guide in living our intimacy with Jesus our Master Way, Truth and Life and in reaching out to all people with the strength and passion of his heart and the creative dynamism of his apostolic zeal and vision.

Missionary Experiences

In our daily contact with God in prayer, we are transformed more and more into true disciples and apostles of Jesus. By belonging to the Pauline Family we also benefit of the supernatural wealth, which are in it. Saint Paul the Apostle of universality, is the inspiration of our project of life. He is our model, our guide in living our intimacy with Jesus our Master Way, Truth and Life and in reaching out to all people with the strength and passion of his heart and the creative dynamism of his apostolic zeal and vision.

Young People's Experiences

We have been called to bring all people to enjoy the salvation won us by Christ. We have been gifted in different ways and the gifts of the Spirit in us help us respond to the needs of our time especially in regards to evangelization. In the Church these gifts are expressed or used in different ways through hospital work, education, social work and so on. All for the glory of God and the salvation of souls. The Daughters of St Paul through the inspiration of the Spirit given to Fr. James Alberione have been called to proclaim the gospel of Salvation through the media of social communication. This is our apostolic commitment;-this is our mission.

Mentoring

As we all know that what we hear or see shape our minds. When we watch an episode of joy we are elated but it is the opposite when you watch a very sad film. We react mostly to what we have seen and heard. So that is where our mission comes in; to form the minds of people for and in Christ. Christ does not want any of us to be lost. So far we have been able to make use of these means and continue to wake up to the signs of time. We print books, produce audio visual materials, use the internet, have radio programs, animate with images, dialogue forums and so on. But as scriptures say “the harvest is plenty but the laborers are few”. So as much as we will like to use all these means adequately we are still in need of generous souls who will make this mission there’s. The Lord offers us these beautiful means and we are to use them for his Glory.

Jokes and Wisdom Quotes

In all areas, we look to incorporate the tools of media and social communication. “Spurred on by the apostolic anxiety of St. Paul, who yearned to bring the Gospel to everyone, we infuse all these contexts with the dynamism, creativity and content of the Pauline apostolate.” (A Lay Vocation in the Pauline Family).
“We are called to follow a path which entails mutual acceptance, trust in relation to the values and traditions of other people, in order to establish a dialogue of life and of heart in which daily experience becomes the ‘setting’ for a mutual exchange which enriches all.” (The Pauline Family Unitary Project)

Debbie’s tips
Life is a gift, it is a precious pearl, and its preciousness can become fruitful if:
• I make great use of it to discover what I am capable of doing for myself and for others;
• I appreciate what I have, be it intelligence, material things, or beautiful inspirations;
• I take time to appreciate nature and learn from it;
• I appreciate the people around me like family, friends and new people I come across and the beauty they
reinforce in my life.
• I appreciate the small things in life like greetings, a smile, a pat on the back, a compliment, even being
corrected.
• I remember some childhood fun moments; they will help me to understand how much I have been loved
and am still loved and appreciated.

Prayer is always the most effective means for overcoming our difficulties.
Love of the Gospel is the sign and characteristic of individuals whom God singles out for great undertakings
“The Daughters of St Paul must grow in virtue and in spiritual, intellectual and moral strength. They must broaden their views so as to understand all people, from all continents, nations and regions.”
