The devotion to the Sacred Heart is nothing other than devotion to the Person of the Redeemer in whose love consists all the perfection of Christian life and of the consecrated life One cannot be an apostle without being creative and without being creative one cannot be a missionary. Every vocation is born from the encounter of two freedoms that which is Divine and that which is human. Priests consecrated religious and third order laity working to Prolong the Incarnation of The WORD in every man and in every culture. Members of the Institute of the Incarnate Word are by essence missionary and Marian.
