English - Adorers of the Blood of Christ

Some ongoing initiatives of the three-year preparation
for the second centennial of Maria De Mattias’ birth.
During the course of this year, an integral part of the preparation for
the bicentennial celebration of MDM’s birth was the publication of
Una Storia sui Passi di Dio (“A Story in the Steps of God”) , of Sr.
Antonietta Maraone, ASC. It is a compendium of the history of the
Congregation, drawn up on the basis of the 1984 text, The Adorers of
the Blood of Christ in the Church and in the World. Even within
compendium limits, the author presents the most salient aspects and
most significant episodes of the historical route of the Congregation,
whose connective tissue is fruit of courage rooted in the redemptive
power of the Blood of Jesus. The little history manual is available at
the Postulation office, Generalate, Rome.
Now the text is available also in English, thanks to the careful
translation of Sr. Angelita Myerscough, ASC, with the title In the
Sign of the Covenant. In reality, Sr. Angelita did not limit herself to
translation, but enriched the text with details and entire sections of
special interest for Adorers of the English language. This
compendium, easily and rapidly read, is offered especially also to ASC
Associates, to lay collaborators and young people who approach the
Adorers of the Blood of Christ for various reasons, so that they can
know the richness and fascination of a story that is lasting through
time and opens to new horizons continually because, as Maria De
Mattias often said, “The Work is God’s”. (Let. January 2, 1850) The book
can be requested from the US- ASC province, St. Louis, MO.
