    Discipleship in the Congregation Of The Mercerdarian Missionary Sisters
    (Tangaza University College, 2005) Raul, Efigenia
    This paper is a study on discipleship in relation to the charism of my Congregation — Mercedarian Missionaries Sister. The relevance of this study lies on the fact that it has helped me, and hopeful will help other religious, to reflect on our call to pay more attention to the marginalized in the light of Mark's Gospel. It is also a challenge to my Congregation, especially my Province, to evaluate our commitment to our option to the most abandoned and neglected in our society. The paper is divided into three chapters: the first explains how discipleship is in the Gospel of Mark. Here, we define what discipleship is and we go on singling out the requirements of true disciples; we also look at the mission of a disciple. The second chapter is about the Mercedarian Missionaries' understanding of discipleship. This is where we focus on the foundress' understanding of discipleship and how we understand and interpret it today. The third chapter is basically a comparison between discipleship in Mark and' the Mercedarian Sisters. This is where we try to see the relationship existing between how Mark looks at discipleship and how we Mercedarians look at it today and what can we improve in our understanding of it. After each chapter, follows a brief conclusion and at the end there is the general conclusion.
