A spirituality
on mission
Our spirituality is born of an encounter with the living Christ and is expressed in a life dedicated to mission. Nourished by the Eucharist and sustained by trust in God the Father, we learn to recognize the face of Christ in the most wounded and to live an incarnate, close and fraternal faith, which translates into concrete gestures of love, listening and service.
Our spirituality is nourished by very concrete sources that help us to live the Gospel in mission. These are not abstract ideas, but experiences that shape our way of praying, accompanying and serving, and that sustain our personal and community life.
The spirituality of the mission
Missionary spirituality, from the Second Vatican Council to the present day, constitutes for us the basis of our charism of Evangelization.
Christ crucified today
In the Face of Christ we find reflected the face of every brother and sister. We feel called to be companions of this crucified Christ of today who opens his Heart to us in his most suffering and needy members.
Love incarnate
We believe that our humanity can be a sacrament of God's love: our gestures and words, our closeness and listening, can be a presence of God and a proclamation that our brothers and sisters can understand. When Christ is at the center of our relationships, his love incarnated among us is a sacred place where God continues to reveal himself.
God the provident Father
God's provident love impels us to live in a climate of total trust, knowing that He takes care of each person with gentleness. We find in God the Father the love of mercy that makes us be born again.
The Eucharist
The Eucharistic love of Jesus is, for us, a school of life and mission.
Mary, our mother and mother of the Church
From our Mother we learn to recognize the Spirit in her Word and in the reality in which we live, to walk with simplicity, building bonds of communion.
The communion of saints
His presence encourages us to incarnate the Gospel in today's circumstances and to live the now in the horizon of eternity.
Our work is mission, and our mission is to form missionary hearts.
Through our own method - theSEMD Missionary Itinerary -we accompany hundreds of young people and adults throughout the world on a journey of inner discovery, active faith and social and apostolic commitment. This itinerary, composed of five stages (Convoke, Initiate, Form, Participate, Belong), allows each person to experience that his or her life has meaning, mission and value.

Our methodology
1
Reaching out
Activities that favor a free, simple and true approach to each person. We would like to raise questions about the meaning of life, the values of the Gospel and that they feel attracted to know Jesus.

Initiation
Activities that help to have a personal experience of encounter with the living Christ. That they discover that faith is not ideas but the encounter with a living Person in Jesus Christ.
3
Formation
Processes that accompany the growth in the experience of faith that they have had and form them for the mission of announcing this Good News to others. Help the integration of faith in life and the discovery of their mission.

Participate
Spaces that promote living co-responsibility in the life and mission of the community and in the Church.

Belonging
Process of belonging to the Community of Servants of the Gospel from their state of life. Those who feel called, dedicate a year to deepen the modules on the identity of the Servants and their mission to prepare for the "Servant promise".
