When, at the end of December 2006, I entered the carpark of a property in the Via delle Vigne Nuove, Rome I did not imagine that the ‘prophecy’ of St Joseph was being fulfilled. My name is Mother Rebecca, superior of the Missionaries of Divine Revelation. Our community was born in the Roman Diocese on […]
Dear friends, we are continuing our monthly articles that celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the foundation of our community. This time we wish to talk about an important aspect of our mission, that is our spiritual motherhood towards priests and seminarians. As our Rule reminds us, following Our Lady’s example as Mother of the Church, […]
The liturgical hymn Stabat Mater takes its title and inspiration for St John’s Gospel, “near the cross of Jesus stood His Mother.” (Jn 19:25) The hymn was written in the thirteenth century and is attributed to either the Franciscan, Jacopone di Todi or, more likely, Pope Innocent XIII. Today this popular hymn usually accompanies the […]

Dear Friends, Looking back on 2021 we can see that the Virgin of Revelation has touched many hearts through the work of the Missionaries of Divine Revelation. We have worked with people in person, on-line, with people of all ages to bring the “Word of Truth” to all as Our Lady asks. This would not […]
St Francis’ idea to reproduce the scenes of Bethlehem in a crib is a marvellous way of contemplating the mystery of Christmas. One look at the crib stirs our hearts and fills them with the warm glow of hope as we try to imagine the greatness of the mystery of God made man in this […]
