In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1,1

Divine Word Missionaries live out God’s call to follow the footsteps of Jesus, our Lord, exemplifying His life, as His disciples. In this way, the SVD carries out His mission to spread the Word of God, which is reflected in this prayer by the Founder, Saint Arnold Janssen:

“May the darkness of sin and night of unbelief vanish before the light of the Word and the spirit of grace, and may the heart of Jesus live in the hearts of all. Amen”
