      <image:title>About - Mission Statement</image:title>
      <image:caption>The mission of the Spiritual Motherhood for Priest Program is the spiritual adoption of Priest-Sons by women who, following the example of and united with the Blessed Mother Mary, pray for them daily.   The women, inspired by their love of God, the Church and the Priesthood, offer their prayer lives for the sanctification of Priests, uniting themselves with the Blessed Virgin Mother by spiritually adopting a Priest-son.  This commitment is anonymous.  At the core of the program is Our Blessed Mother, whose example of obedience, humility, patience and love we seek to imitate.   Priests are the image and likeness of God, the visible ambassadors who carry within themselves the difficult task of being “In Persona Christi”.  The priesthood is essential to our faith, for it is priests who administer the Sacraments that sustain us as Catholics.  Through the Sacraments, priests are God’s representatives on Earth, the true living presence of Christ among us.  Though they are humans in the earthly world, priests have overwhelming responsibilities.  Through prayer, Eucharistic Adoration, sacrifices and anonymity, women join ourselves spiritually to their adopted Priest-sons to support their vocation and ultimately to serve God and His Kingdom. Participation in this program is a gift of the Holy Spirit and Our Blessed Mother.  Estado de la Mision La misión del Programa de Maternidad Espiritual para Sacerdotes es la adopción espiritual de Hijos-Sacerdotes por parte de mujeres que, siguiendo el ejemplo y unidas a la Santísima Madre María, oran por ellos diariamente. Las mujeres, inspiradas por su amor a Dios, a la Iglesia y al Sacerdocio, ofrecen su vida de oración por la santificación de los Sacerdotes, uniéndose a la Santísima Virgen Madre adoptando espiritualmente un Sacerdote-hijo. Este compromiso es anónimo. En el centro del programa está Nuestra Santísima Madre, cuyo ejemplo de obediencia, humildad, paciencia y amor, buscamos imitar. Los sacerdotes son imagen y semejanza de Dios, los embajadores visibles que llevan dentro de sí, la difícil tarea de ser “In Persona Christi”. El sacerdocio es esencial para nuestra fe, porque son los sacerdotes quienes administran los sacramentos los que nos sostienen como católicos. A través de los sacramentos, los sacerdotes son los representantes de Dios en la Tierra, la verdadera presencia viva de Cristo entre nosotros. Aunque son humanos en el mundo terrenal, los sacerdotes tienen responsabilidades abrumadoras. A través de la oración, la Adoración Eucarística, los sacrificios y el anonimato, las mujeres se unen espiritualmente a sus HijosSacerdotes para apoyar su vocación y, en última instancia, para servir a Dios y Su Reino. La participación en el programa es un don del Espíritu Santo y de Nuestra Santísima Madre.</image:caption>
