Our identity

ABOUT DAUGHTERS OF GOD

Daughters of God embrace virtue, reflect St. Josemaria's example. Inspired by Mary, St. Joseph, we grow in obedience and holiness.

As Daughters of God, we strive to actively live as true children of our Lord by pursuing a life of virtue. We aim to take after our patron, St. Josemaria Escriva, who exemplifies the virtues of gratitude, purity, humility, and obedience. Our desire is to grow in these virtues to become a walking monstrance of Christ’s presence to others. As we strive to do so, we turn to the Immaculate Heart of Mary as an example of how to be true daughters of God by being rooted in His love. To grow in obedience to God’s will in our lives, we also seek to imitate the obedience and humility of St. Joseph. Together, as a sisterhood, we call each other to become saints by growing in our identities as daughters of God.
