dc.description.abstractIt has been a great pleasure for me to write this paper concerning discipleship as Missionary Benedictine Sisters in the light of Mary's discipleship. Society looks up to us to see prophetic and genuine disciples of Jesus who bring hope to the people. Through our community life we give witness to Christianity genuinely lived. Mary is a model for us on this journey of faith and discipleship. This long essay is divided into three chapters. The first chapter explains briefly the life of the founder and the beginnings of the congregation of the Missionary Benedictine Sisters and the understanding of discipleship that the founder had at that time. Finally, this paper treats the charism of the congregation and the challenges of living that charism today. The second chapter introduces Mary's discipleship. The main insights of her vocation to discipleship are taken from the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. The main focus will be Mary as a woman of faith, prayer, and service. The aim is to see what in her discipleship can enrich our own discipleship as a congregation. The third chapter pictures how the Missionary Benedictine Sisters are striving to live out their discipleship in the light of Mary's own discipleship. Furthermore I will look at the elements of Mary's discipleship that can be integrated in our formation programme. Finally, I will reflect on how Mary's discipleship affirms and challenges our own discipleship today. The nature of this long essay is descriptive and the materials used are from reliable sources, from the rich mines of the Holy Scripture, from the Benedictine spirituality and from my own personal reflections.en_US
