- WHO WE ARE …
- We are a group of women who have come together from diverse paths and from different backgrounds: family, culture, interests, and age; yet, one thing brings us together: we desire to follow Jesus in response to a call which changed our lives and continues transforming our way of understanding the whole of reality.
About Us
- OUR NAME
- Our name-Hijas de Jesus( Spanish), Filiae Iesu (Latin), Daughters of Jesus- is intimately linked to Jesus: being part of His group, belonging to His community, following Him as his disciples. To be Hijas de Jesús is to be with Him, to contemplate life with His own eyes, to live the way He lived, to treat people the way He did, to listen, and to forgive, seeking what will bring to fulfillment God’s dream for humanity.
- OUR IDENTIFYING SIGN
- "IHS" are the first three letters of the name of Jesus in Greek: Iota, Eta, Sigma: It could also mean "Iesu Humanum Salvatore”. The IHS is the identifying mark of the Hijas de Jesus found in their ring and in their necklace.
- OUR RELIGIOUS FAMILY
- Our religious family feels especially called to live the filial attitude towards God as Father, characterized by the trust, the security in his unconditional love, and praise for Him. This face of God that we contemplate invites us to live in fraternity with all, in gratuitousness, simplicity and joy.
- MARY, STAR OF OUR WAY
- Mary occupies a special place in our faith life. She is for us a Mother, a companion, the Star that guides our way, the believer who proclaims the wonderful works of the Lord manifested in the poor and simple, the disciple who teaches us how to live our daily following of Jesus.
