We celebrate with gratitude and joy the Feast of the Immaculate Conception and the anniversary of the birth of our congregation. On this day we gather spiritually to remember the gift of our vocation and the maternal care of the Immaculate Virgin, who guides and protects us on the path of love and service.
We share below the message of the General Government, for all the Daughters of Jesus and lay people of the Mother Candida Family who accompany us in the mission.
Feast of the Immaculate Conception - 154th anniversary of the birth of the congregation.
Today we remember our origin under the protection and tutelage of the Immaculate Virgin. We celebrate that we were born to be a Congregation of union, of love, of true and fruitful apostolate, always carrying Mary Immaculate as the star of our paths. Her protection continues to be the guarantee of our hopes, the consolation of our labors and the joy of our fruits.
In a world marked by injustice and growing inequality, we are called, today more than ever, to witness that God is our Father, and therefore we are daughters and sisters who live in union and love, capable of healing this wounded world. Rooted in the certainty of God's love, we are invited to manifest, with clarity, that we are women of faith and hope, bearers of light in times of darkness.
May this feast awaken in us a renewed desire to grow in fidelity to the gift of filiation entrusted to our Foundress.
May the Most Pure Virgin cover us with her mantle.
Happy Immaculate Conception Day and the 154th anniversary of the birth of our congregation!
General Government of the Daughters of Jesus
Let us unite in prayer, let us share this message, let us live the spirit of filiation and let us continue to sow hope in every place where we are present. May the tenderness and trust of the Immaculate Virgin sustain and strengthen us.
