The Congregation of Jesus Mary Joseph is a Catholic Religious Women’s Congregation. Fr. Mathias Wolff SJ the Founder enkindled the flame of liberation in 1822 when he founded the Society of Jesus, Mary Joseph at Amersfoort, in the Netherlands to educate the poor and the marginalized girls and to revive the faith of the clandestine Catholic families.
“To see jesus christ as a small, lovable child in the manger of bethlehem.” 1 these simple, Prayerful, meditative words of fr wolff could be expressed theologically as “the incarnate Word is the presentation and exposition of god.” 2 we are in the liturgical season of advent, In which we await the birth of christ, in whom god is presented and exposed to the world as A human being so that in the incarnate christ, we experience the mutual closeness between God and us.”
Every Sister of JMJ seeks to live a Eucharistic centred life in
total
openness to the will of God. Thereby, she is
constantly urged to liberate herself in the spirit of detachment to build the
Kingdom of God through an “Ever Adaptable
Apostolic Availability,” for the glory of God and the advancement of all people,
with preferential option for the poor
and the underprivileged.
Inspired by faith in the Will of the Father and trust in His providence, we express
our commitment to Christ, through an
‘Ever Adaptable Apostolic Availability’ for the service of the Kingdom through
integral and Holistic liberation of
humanity with preferential option for the poor and the underprivileged.
Our Mission
Stirred by the apostolic zeal of the Founder, every sister of JMJ
is
‘always ready to win souls for God’ and ‘wishes to
labor like a giant’ with an indomitable missionary spirit in communion with the
Church to respond generously to the
global mission, in line with the Charism of the Congregation ‘ever adaptable
apostolic availability.’
