An Emerging Community
“Raise them up to me and I will be with them every step of their journey to console them.”
– A Call to Trust, 106
The Sisters of Jesus’ Merciful Passion (SOJMP) is a fruitful outcome of The Shrine of Jesus the Divine Mercy (SJDM), a private association of Christ’s Faithful established by His Eminence, Adam Cardinal Maida, on April 20, 2003.
The SOJMP submits to the leadership of the Archdiocese of Detroit and all clergy who aid the Archbishop in his divine mandate of shepherding Christ’s faithful in the Archdiocese of Detroit.
As a part of the SJDM, the members of the SOJMP continue to spread the message of Divine Mercy as revealed by Jesus to Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska. The charisms of this community are Holy Hospitality and Spiritual Direction.
The members of the SOJMP seek to attain holiness and live in community while following the Rule of the Ten Virtues of the Blessed Virgin Mary. They seek to imitate Mary’s life and virtues in thought, word, and deed, which, rooted in the Gospels, are Purity; Prudence; Humility; Faith; Devotion; Obedience; Poverty; Patience; Mercy and Sorrow.
The members of the SOJMP seek holiness through prayer that is regarded as a sacred duty and special mission among the People of God. They strive, through adoration before the Blessed Sacrament, to make Trust in Jesus and intercession for aching mankind a priority in their daily lives.
