Welcome to the on-line resource guide to ASC Spirituality
We name ourselves Adorers of the Blood of Christ. It is not just an ordinary name; it encompasses everything we want to be, and expresses our spirituality and the soul of our ministry. We are adorer-apostles, called to engage in the on-going process of transforming the world into "that beautiful order of things which the great Son of God came to establish in His blood." —Maria De Mattias, ASC
To adore speaks of a special relationship with God. To adore is to love with all one's heart. Adoration is a special love, a love of surrender, offered always and everywhere to the God we serve by our apostolic presence and our lives in community.
To adore is to come to know, in the prayer of quiet contemplation, Jesus who in His great love for humanity, offered His life that our lives might be renewed. To adore is a way of life in which we come to know and share with others Gods great love for us as expressed in all wonders of creation.
