Our Spirituality and Mission

Fr. Alberione recognised the natural capacity of the media to permeate the
lives of people, and to reach large sections of society in every culture. He
gave the Daughters of St. Paul a specific mission of using the most effective
and suitable means of communication available in each time and context to
proclaim the Gospel. This involves the publication, marketing and distribution of books,
music cassettes, CDs, videos, magazines and periodicals, posters and computer
software. We maintain bookshops and, where possible around the world, we produce
radio and TV programs, and have websites, all which carry a Christian message.
The spirituality and mission of the Daughters of St. Paul is known as "Pauline". Pauline
prayer is characterised by the Hour of Adoration, or Visit with Jesus in the Eucharist,
and by a profound listening to the Word of God in the Scriptures.

Pauline spirituality is rooted in the life and teaching of St. Paul, the apostle
who lived in intimacy with Christ and spent his energy and his life proclaiming the
Good News to all peoples. St. Paul's spirit of love for Jesus Master, his energy for
the kingdom, his spirit of thanksgiving and tireless dedication inspire every Pauline with similar sentiments. The presence of Mary, Queen of Apostles, in the life of Paulines inspires
the same total availability to God that was Mary's lifelong attitude. Mary, who is the model of faith and love leads us to Jesus Master and forms us for the mission
of communicating God's Word to the world.
