IDENTIFICATION

- CICM is an abbreviation that came from the initial letters of the Latin name “Congregatio Immaculati
Cordis Mariae,” which is ***CONGREGATION OF THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY*** in English.

- It is generally said that the heart of the twelve stars comes from a text of ***REVELATION (12:1)***:
“And a great sign appeared in heaven, a woman adorned with the sun, with the moon under her feet,
and on her head a crown of twelve stars”.

- ***FR. THEOPHILE VERBIST***, the founder of CICM had a great devotion to Mary, which brought him
to establish the first headquarters of the Congregation of Scheut, a village outside of Brussels in Belgium
where a statuette of Our Lady of Grace was venerated.

- As this includes a confrontation with exteriority, it also means ‘challenge’, ‘sacrifice’,


***‘SUFFERING***’.

- ***AD EXTRA*** (mission beyond borders) to be a CICM is to leave one’s home, family, and culture,
and even one’s country or simply one’s region, to 'preach the faith', to learn a new language and a new
culture, and to be with other people.

- ***AD INTRA*** (mission at home) The understanding/stress now is not necessary therefore to
physically leave one’s country but to respond to a situation where one’s missionary presence is most
needed.

- He was promoted to a ***DIOCESIAN PRIEST***

- JOHN 1:1-5** & **LUKE 2:15-19**


MULTIPLE CHOICE & MODIFIED T OR F

- Reminiscent of the winter coat of the graceful ***MUSTELIDAE***. This animal has long symbolized
courage, nobility, and purity.

- The emphasis on the ‘incarnation’ refers for sure to the ***‘DOWN-TO-EARTH’*** approach of the
CICM.

- The text from the Gospel of Luke is usually described by some biblical scholars as the
***"PROGRAMMATIC SPEECH"*** of Jesus because it outlines what Jesus intended to do with his life,
according to the Gospel writer. The programmatic speech expresses Jesus' mission to which he dedicated
all his energies. It was the beauty of this mission and his dedication to and passion for it that attracted
followers. Jesus' brand of leadership was one that earned the loyalty of his disciples who behaved in awe
and admiration towards his character as a person and as a leader.

- Fr. Verbist and his first companions during their first meetings draw up the statutes of the new
Congregation unanimously agreed to consecrate the Mission to the Incarnate Word and to the
***IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY***, “...to whom they committed themselves to recommend daily the
interests of the Congregation.
