Marian Groups

Of either men or women, are communities of apostolic life for young people who wish to take their lives seriously and mature in their Christian commitment and apostolate. Hunger for encounter with the Lord moves their members to renew the meaning of Baptism and to strive to live by God's Plan in a coherent way. Each group is made up of five to twelve young people who, with the support of an animator, form themselves intellectually in the truths of the Faith and the teachings of the Church.

The Groups are also a place for prayer and celebration of the Faith. In them a communal atmosphere is experienced in which the experiences of daily life are fraternally shared.

Group members, as they mature in their faith, project themselves apostolically, giving testimony that "the Lord Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life" (Jn 14, 16).

Filial love of Mary is seen as being born out of the Will of Charity spoken from high on the altar of the Golgotha. Each group member professes to have heard the voice of the Lord Jesus saying to him or her, "Here is your Mother", and like Saint John, accepts the invitation and calls her Mother, recognizing Her with life-giving trust as guide, advocate, help, and educator in the Faith.

Bethany

Inspired by the joint spirituality expressed in the biblical personalities of Martha and Mary of Bethany, groups of adult women get together at the MVC, committed to deepening their faith, to praying and to announcing the Lord Jesus through the testimony of their lives. The Bethany groups are also in charge of a number of activities of social solidarity. In order to specifically express their vocation to prayer and service, the "Betanias" live according to the model of the place where the Lord Jesus found the cordial and revering welcome and attention of Martha and Mary.

Emmaus

In the image of the disciples who met the Lord on the way to Emmaus, ate with Him and rapidly went out to announce Him to his other brothers, adult men get together in groups in order to live more intensely their Christian life, to share and talk fraternally, to live Eucharistic piety intensely and to give testimony that the Lord Jesus is the reconciliation that reestablishes friendship with God, the Father, in the Spirit.

Nazareth

Married couples of different ages who wish to deepen their calling to sanctity as couples, get together and participate in Nazareth. Through a program of formation developed in weekly meetings and other initiatives which contemplate the concrete demands of married life and the upbringing of children in respect and freedom, according to the teaching of the Church, Christian Life Movement married couples seek, with the help of God, to live at their own families according to the example of the Family of Nazareth.
