Our Spirituality
Pauline spirituality, at the heart of the Society of St. Paul, finds its deepest roots in the words of our patron, Saint Paul: “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me” (Galatians 2:20). For us Paulines, this is more than a verse—it is a way of life. Our mission is to allow Jesus, the Divine Master, to live ever more fully in us so that, through the means of communication, we may make Him known, loved, and followed in today’s world.
This spirituality shapes every aspect of our formation, prayer, apostolate, and community life. As we journey in continuous conversion and transformation in Christ, we do so grounded in the promise that Jesus gave to our founder, Blessed James Alberione: “Do not be afraid. I am with you. From this tabernacle, I will cast light. Be sorry for sin.”These words are a cornerstone of our trust in divine guidance, inspiring us to be instruments of light in the digital and media-driven culture, bringing the Gospel to all people, in the spirit and zeal of Saint Paul.
​
In living out this charism, the Society of St. Paul embraces Pauline spirituality not only as a personal path to holiness but as a communal mission—where Christ is formed in us, so He may be communicated through us.
The objective of the mission is to put the totality of Christ in contact (as expressed in the title "Christ Divine Master of Life, Truth and Way") with all human faculties (mind, heart and will) through the communication which is realized with the modern means.
The metodology used includes the proposal of the Christian experience (dogma, moral and cult) and the presentation of all human realties in the Christian perspective.
The historical development of the Society of St. Paul follows the evolution of the media of communication. Initially, Fr. Alberione adopted the printed press; then he added cinema, radio, television and LPs. Presently, the Paulines are involved in the world of communication, preparing themselves to incarnate Christ Divine Master of the Way, the Truth and the Life in the "culture" created by the communications.
​
Following the indications of Fr. Alberione to always "put yourself forward", the Paulines wish to be in the Church of the next millenium among the pioneers of a complete evangelical spirituality that knows to inculturate itself in global communications and multimedia. In fact, for Fr. Alberione and the Paulines, communication is not a simple aid to evangelization, but an original way of preaching, that reaches the masses which are far away from the parishes.
