Asteria Tis Marias

Our Identity

As the women of Asteria tis Marias, we seek to imitate Mary by becoming her stars who illuminate the light of Christ to the whole world. Through her ten virtues—profound humility, blind obedience, ardent charity, constant mental prayer, universal mortification, heroic patience, divine purity, lively faith, angelic sweetness, and divine wisdom—she became the moon that reflects the radiance of the Son. Not only did she bear the light of her Son physically, but she also bore His light spiritually to the world through her virtues. As the stars of Mary, we endeavor to mirror the light of Christ like Our Lady. While the world may be full of darkness, we believe Christ has sent us into the world to bear the light of His love to those lost in the darkness.
