THE INSTITUTE OF
THE INCARNATE WORD (IVE) NATURE

INSTITUTE OF THE INCARNATE WORD (IVE) - lis THE IVE PURPOSE: We want to dedicate ourselves to the evangelization of the culture

THE IVE CHARISM: Is the grace to know how to work concretely in order to prolong Christ in families, in education, in the mass media, in the intellectuals, and in all other legitimate manifestations of human life.

THE IVE SPIRITUALITY: must be deeply marked by the four aspects of the mystery of the Incarnation: its origin, its natures, the union of the natures, and its purpose.

OUR DEVOTION TO MARY: To achieve this disposition of maximum, total and unrestricted docility to the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of Christ (cf. Rom 8: 9) we need the Holy Virgin Mary to be the model, the guide and the form for all our actions.

THE IVE DEVOTION TO MARY: We manifest our love and gratitude to the Blessed Virgin by making a fourth vow – slavery to Mary according to Saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort – so as to obtain her indispensable help to extend the Incarnation in all things.

THE IVE FOUNDER: Fr. Carlos Miguel Buela, who founded the Institute of the Incarnate Word - IVE, was born in the city of Buenos Aires on April 4, 1941. He was ordained on October 7, 1971.

Pastoral Work in Parishes

The religious who take care of parishes should give priority, through an enthusiastic pastoral action, to the following:

- The Sunday liturgy, since the center of the parish pastoral work should always be the Sunday Mass, celebrated in such manner so that each time the faithful will participate “more consciously, actively and fruitfully” (cf. Vatican Council II, SC 11, 48). This should be complemented with communion to the sick.

- Availability to hear confessions at any time.

- To be willing to offer authentic spiritual direction.

- The preaching of the Spiritual Exercises

- Catechetical instruction of children and adults.

- The preaching of Popular Missions

- Children and youth oratories according to the spirit of St. Philip Neri and St. John Bosco

- Courses on Catholic culture
