MSBT Way of Life

Our residences are called Missionary Cenacles.  
We follow in the footsteps of the Apostles who,
filled with the Holy Spirit,
went forth from the Cenacle to spread everywhere a knowledge and love of Jesus.                                         
MSBT Rule of Life, 3

As a witness to evangelical poverty, and to religious consecration, our dress, while being some way different from forms that are clearly secular, will be the plain dress of any modestly attired woman of our day.  This is the original intent of our Founder, and, historically, this custom has enabled us to move freely among the poor and abandoned.  As a public sign of our consecration we wear the official emblem of the Institute which  is given to us at the time of our profession.    
MSBT Constitution, 24.1,2

We recognize that only a spiritual person can lead an apostolic life, and that we cannot be spiritual without prayer.  Great value is placed on periods of prayerful silence and recollection. 



The Eucharist is the center and sun of our apostolic lives. 
The Blessed Sacrament is reserved in our chapels. 
We attend Mass daily, and pray together in our Cenacles twice a day.

	Vowed life in community unites us in faith, hope and love.  We strive to emulate the early Christians who had one heart and one mind and were nourished by the teachings of the apostles, and the breaking of the bread and the common prayers (Acts2:42 )   Rule of Life 13
