CICM's missionary spirituality
Characterized and oriented by our dedication to the Incarnate Word
The CICM is consecrated to the Incarnate Word
The Incarnate Word is the fundamental inspiration for all CICM missionary commitments
The incarnation of the Son of God "makes us aware of the fact that to evangelize, following the example of Jesus, means to accept the cross that results from the proclamation and the inauguration of the Kingdom"
The CICM coat of arms symbolizes the link between Mary and her Son dying on the cross
Mary
Mother of the Incarnate Word, model of faith and total dedication to God and to her Son's mission
The CICM Constitutions invite us to turn towards Mary as "model of faith and of total dedication to God and to her Son's mission", and "to follow the example of Mary in the way that she deepened her own vocation"
