Mater Admirabilis

On October 20, let us come together as artisans of hope and do a concrete act of JPIC in our blessed and broken world.

On the occasion of the feast of Mater Admirabilis, the school of Rome joins the prayers of all the schools of the European Network of the Sacred Heart to address their invocation for our world Peace to Mary, the light of Charity and the source of Hope.

As part of the celebration of Mater Admirabilis, the Instituto Mater Sagrado Corazón in Mexico decided to give a voice to the students from the different sections: preschool, elementary, middle and high school, as they recite the AMASC 2017 prayer to MATER, written by Pilar Frech, a member of our educational community.

The Colegio Sagrado Corazón school in Mexico invited high school students to reinterpret the image of Mater in an artistic way, capturing the symbols that have been significant in their lives at school. One of the students also decided to write a letter to Mater, which we share along with some of the images.

For the Feast of Mater Admirabilis, the pupils of Sacré Cœur Nursery and Primary School in Tarnów come to the Blessed Mother with their requests, supplications, and thanksgivings.

Two novices from UGK Province, Francisca Gyaviira Nakagera and Ruth Nakiganda, have compiled a series of verses that commend the beauty, obedience and purity of Mater Admirabilis.

The painting of the Blessed Mater at the school in Godella, Valencia is an original painting by Paulina Perdreau, and it has suffered some particularly difficult moments over the years.

On the occasion of the Feast of Mater Admirabilis, we organized a spiritual activity with the children of the third kindergarten (children 5 years old) at the Sacred Heart Nursery of Righini (DRC-Chad Province): a prayer of intercession for peace in the world, dedicated to Mater Admirabilis.

Donna Dolan RSCJ and Kimberly M. King RSCJ of USC Province bring together painting and prayer to honor Mater Admirabilis in their work, Soft Light of the Soul.

After a year and a half of lockdown, we celebrated Mater’s feast with a Mass in the boarding school of St. Theresa Girls Hostel, where Sr. Rita Pinto RSCJ sang the hymn, "You have many portraits, Mother”.
