Societas Verbi Divini
We, Divine Word
Missionaries are an international group of over 6000 Priests,
Brothers and Seminarians serving God’s people and proclaiming the
Good News of God. We work in more than 60 different countries
around the world. Since we come from so many different nations we
remind that the Church is for all peoples of the world. We were
founded on the 8th of September 1875 in Steyl-Holland
by St. Arnold Janseen. The Divine Word Missionaries try to
discover what God wants us to do, and we are not afraid to move
into new and strange situations to do what God asks of us.
What God wants us
to do?
You will find us
doing many different kinds of work but in all we try to bring the
Good News of Jesus Christ to those people who have never heard of
him or to those who are longing to hear it.
How we do this?
We know that only
the Spirit of God can bring the faith to the people, so in our own
lives we try to be men of prayer full of faith and hope always
trying to deepen their friendship with Jesus, the Eternal Word of
God, the Divine Word. This Word is alive and active. We touch this
Word in our missionary communities of brothers and priests:, we
draw life and strength from Him and then we go wherever our
superiors send us: this can mean leaving one’s own Country,
culture and language. From February 1987 the missionaries of the
Divine Word began work in the Diocese of Bulawayo.
