the Brothers

Living True Devotion

The Brothers MICM (Mancipia Immaculati Cordis Mariae, Latin for Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary)live a community life united by total consecration to Mary. They give all their goods, interior and exterior, without exception, for the greater glory of God. This consecration, as formulated by Saint Louis Marie de Montfort in his book True Devotion to Mary, is the driving force behind the spiritual life of the Brothers. Whether praying, working, studying, or teaching, all is done “in, with and for” the Immaculate Heart of Mary for the salvation of souls. It is not so much about what they do but for whom they do it.

In a spirit of total giving, each day is centered around prayer and fortified by the Traditional Latin Liturgy. The Brothers’ actual work, while missionary in nature, ranges from the intellectual to the manual. Skilled artisans, like their model, Saint Joseph, the Brothers are masters in many skills. Unlike worldly labor, however, every job is united to their prayer life, giving glory to God in all they do.

The unique calling to live Total Consecration in Community is for the few and the true. “Total” Consecration leaves nothing behind in selfish endeavors—it is all for Jesus through Mary!

Ora Et Labora

Prayer

Our community is nourished by the Traditional Latin Mass and devotion “To Jesus through Mary.”

Work

A Brother’s prayer life is his principal work, while at the same time, his daily work is transformed into a living prayer.

Vowed to God: Brothers in Christ

The life of a religious Brother consists of a voluntary renunciation of the things of this world through the vows of Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience and embracing a life of total commitment to God alone. It is a radically countercultural calling from Christ that reflects the life of Saint Joseph.
