CHILDREN
OF
MARY
The Congregation of the Children of
Mary of the Sacred Heart is the spiritual
organ in the San Diego College for Wom
en. The foundress, Saint Madeline Sophie,
wrote that this organization is an "aposto-
late," for all its members "must be Apos
tles."
The aim of every member is a perfect
Christian life. Every Child of Mary conse
crates herself to carry out the will of God
in whatever state of life He has placed her.
She strives for perfection by inculcating
within her own life a spirit of detachment,
courageous purity and devotion to the will
of God. By strengthening her own spiritual
life, she is able by example, to spread the
love of the Sacred Heart throughout the
world.
