Our Eastern Orthodox Tradition places us within the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church of God. Our theology is based on the Nicene Creed, the Seven Sacraments, Holy Tradition and the Teaching of the Church Fathers.
We draw on the our Eastern Orthodox Christian Traditiont to help ourselves and others to discern God’s presence in our lives. As contemplatives in action, we bring this spirituality into the wider human context as we strive for social justice, charity work, peace, education, dialogue and Church unity. Seeking to respond to the needs of the times and under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit as well as by human insight, the goal of its members is to embrace a way of life which, by Profession of the Evangelical Counsels, follows Christ and becomes an outstanding sign of the Heavenly Kingdom. We are dedicated to Christian evangelism.
Our goal is to bring together all faithful into a unified and coordinated effort, to spread the truth of the faith in our modern time, in other words; Christianity in the 21st Century. We live in the world and pray for the world; we don’t leave it.
Many Christians think that monastics are just those folks who leave the world and withdraw into their monasteries. People are under the notion that monastics are not aware of what happens in the world. This is a wrong notion. We all agree that the most important job of a monk is to pray, both privately and communally by reading the holy Hours, participating in frequent Liturgy, and observing all the other services and feasts in the cycle of the Church. We also go to Church several times a day, every day! We pray for all, we pray in our place when we are doing something which keeps us from saying our own prayers, we pray by asking God to grant salvation and health to every Christian.
This is our first responsibilities, to pray for the world, for her salvation, your salvation and our salvation. Our second responsibilities as a monastic community are to teach the True Faith, Holy Tradition, and a Christian lifestyle to all, we do that in both ways; formally (in sermons, lectures, or writings) and informally, by example. To do so, the community must be very much present in the world.
We work hard to follow the example that Christ taught us, lived and expects us to follow. We do so by working in different societies and cultures. We serve all who Christ brings to our doors or who He takes us to on the streets.
The Mariamite Christian Orthodox Fathers, Community of Mary serves as a beacon, carrier, and witness of the message of Christ to all people through divine worship, preaching, teaching, and living of the Orthodox Christian Faith.
Our Eastern Christian tradition places us within the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church of God. We hold as sacred the Holy Scriptures, the ancient Creeds of the Church, the Seven Sacraments and governance through valid Episcopal Orders. Our mission is to proclaim the Gospel of Christ, to teach and spread the Christian faith, to energize, cultivate, and guide the life of the Church according to the Christian faith and traditions.
