The Lay Missionaries of the Sacred Heart (Lay MSC) are a group of Catholic men and women who have been drawn together from diverse walks of life by the wisdom, compassion and gentleness of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart (MSC). In union with the MSC, they have chosen to study, share, pray and encourage each other to live fully their call to holiness received in baptism. They share their experience of Christ's compassionate love with the people among whom they daily live, work, and play. They strive with God's grace to be living signs of God's love, of God's hope, and of God's healing to all people, especially those in despair and pain. By their imitation of Christ, particularly His openness, concern, gentleness and compassion, they see themselves helping Christ to build a civilization within the Kingdom of God in which justice, love and peace reign supreme. Those who dream of creating such a world are invited to join. Groups of Lay MSC are formed near MSC communities and meet monthly in small groups of about 8 - 10 people to pray, share and help each other grow spiritually in their personal lives, work and ministry.

Fr. Mike Miller, MSC (Pastor of St. Therese Parish in Aurora, IL) reflects on St. Mary Magdalene, drawing from his experiences in Bogotá, Colombia where part of his ministry included working with Fundación Vida Nueva (New Life Foundation), an organization which works with prostitutes and their children to break the cycle of prostitution. Each of us, no matter what our background is, can be transformed by Jesus' presence like Mary Magdalene was.
