Bringing Christ’s Consolation to a Wounded World
Who We Are
Sent to console, called to serve.
To console the Heart of Christ by living the Gospel in the spirit of St. Francis and St. Clare.
Anima Christi Missionaries of Consolation is a Public Association of the Christian Faithful for Women in the Franciscan tradition. We are called to be living witnesses of Christ’s compassion, nourished by His abiding presence in the Eucharist, and sent to the poor, the forgotten, and the spiritually afflicted.
The community was founded in Katsina-Ala, Nigeria, in 2019 with the support of the late Bishop Peter I. Adoboh. Katsina-Ala remains the spiritual birthplace and seedbed of our mission of mercy.
From Contemplation to Consolation
Our mission begins at the feet of Christ.
In the Eucharist, Sacred Scripture, prayer, and silence, we contemplate Christ the Consoler and allow Him to form our hearts after His own.
Following the Gospel way of St. Francis and St. Clare, we go forth to recognize the wounded Christ in the poor, the sick, the displaced, the lonely, and all who suffer.
EUCHARISTWe remain with Christ.
FRANCISCAN LIFEWe follow Christ poor, humble, and crucified.
CONSOLATIONWe carry His healing presence to a wounded world.
We contemplate Christ. We receive His consolation. We become consolation for others.
