Totus Tuus - To Jesus through Mary.

To impel the beauty of the new evangelization – this is the charism of the Heralds of the Gospel; Its founder, Monsignor João Dias explains."The Heralds of the Gospel is a private association of faithful with a very special charism based essentially on three points: the Eucharist, Mary and the Pope."

The Heralds of the Gospel are an International Association of the Faithful of Pontifical Right, the first to be established by the Holy See in the third millennium, during a ceremony which occurred during the feast of the Chair of St. Peter (February 22) in 2001.

The Heralds of the Gospel strive to be instruments of holiness in the Church by encouraging close unity between faith and life, and working to evangelize particularly through art and culture. Their apostolate, which differs depending upon the environments in which they work, gives pride of place to parish animation, evangelizing families, providing catechetical and cultural formation to young people, and disseminating religious Iiterature.

The Goal of Human Existence.


“God…has established one sole order composed of two parts:

nature exalted by grace,
and grace vivifying nature.
He has not confused these two orders,
but he has coordinated them.
One force alone is the model
and one thing alone the motive principle
and ultimate end of divine creation: Christ…

All the rest is subordinated to Him.

The goal of human existence
is to form the Mystical Body of this Christ,
of this Head of the elect,
of this Eternal Priest,
of this King of the immortal Kingdom
and the society of those who will eternally glorify Him.”



Matteo Liberatore, S.J. (La Civiltà Cattolica, VI, i, 1865, pp. 287-288),
