Religious Antonine, devoted to Christ who loves and calls to follow Him and partake of His Mission,
she gives herself through prayer and work, in his Congregation and the Church.
Open to New Communication Technologies to bring others the Joy of the Gospel,
she calls you, you personally, to be in the Joy of Good News
Our religious life remains true to its beginnings. After their exodus from Syria, when the majority of Maronites settled definitely in Lebanon, the number of monasteries multiplied in the Lebanese Mountains, especially in the North and in Kesrouan, reaching a hundred monasteries in the XVth century.
Communion with the laity
Initial Formation
Belonging to the Congregation, develops and deepens through following the examples of the most experienced and respective family features and religious values which contribute to the maturing of the Congregation and its edification.
The most convincing example to follow is that of our Educator and Mother the Blessed Virgin Mary, who fully lived her joy in hope, her courage in hardships, her perseverance in prayer and attention to the sisters and brothers needs (Rm 12: 11-13).
The Antonine religious authority, organically linked to the Church, fulfills three functions: the teaching, sanctification and government to the example of Christ and in the spirituality of the congregation. It is not only spiritual, but also hierarchical. Christ is the source from which it draws energy and momentum to be at the service of charity and to work for the cohesion between its members by focusing on Christ. It is exercised through the General Chapters, the Superior General and the local Superior, assisted by their respective boards.
The General Chapter is the representative body of the whole congregation. It has the supreme authority in terms of its domestic law. It exercises its powers by issuing decrees and decisions and elects the members of the general administration. Its members have the same rights and assume the same responsibilities.
The General Council consists of the Superior General and four General Assistants who work together for the implementation of the decisions of the General Chapter. This council establishes the outlines of a vision for the future of the congregation. They seek to adopt the principle of collaboration and unity in the exercise of power.

Our social and healthcare mission of compassion and charity is lived through our Homes for children (orphans and social cases), our hospitals, dispensaries and homes for the elderly and for the mentally and physically handicapped. Our vocation is to alleviate suffering through our presence, care, attention, psychiatric and spiritual help. We have to provide a family to those who suffer from loneliness, a meaning of life to those who lost it and an ideal to those who do not have one.
Our mission of reception consists in opening fraternal and family-like homes for university students who move to the city to pursue their higher education.
Our mission in the media speaks the language of our time: T.V. interviews and programs, publication of books, articles, conferences and the use of the audio-visual means. It is a mission of cultural formation, aiming at spreading God's message through reading, listening and seeing.

Dear internaut, you will find in this page all the Antonine Sisters publications. If you would like to order a book or any other product, please send us a message.
Treasures of the Fathers of the Church includes a biographical note of 28 Fathers of the first eight centuries of the Church, followed for each by some texts drawn from their works.
These texts reveal to us the inexhaustible wealth of these Fathers and their actuality. They allow us to discover the strength of their faith, the elevation and fecundity of their doctrine, in the face of the traditions of Judaism, in the face of the diversity of Gnostic currents, in the face of the objections of Greek philosophy, and in the face of Christological controversies. They also reveal to us that the Fathers are the builders since, on the basis of the unique foundation laid by the Apostles, they built the first structures of the Church of God.

The Myvocation website is mainly for those who are searching for their Own Vocation and who feel called by God.
It also concerns who care to support young people wanting to answer the call of God and all those who want to support.
God awaits us in CIRCUMSTANCES ...
The idea that God calls us perhaps to this or that purpose is awakened by circumstances, a meeting, a moving event or a deep personal desire. And we would like to distinguish whether it is truly the voice of God or just a dream or idea of our own imagination ...
A CALL that grabs you ...
Not long ago before that calling, you would have said that you were building your own life. Even more, you could have said that you were doing exactly what you wanted and that it was really "your way". But suddenly, in the middle of that road, you felt an urgent calling that made you follow another path... How is it that we would want to belong to someone other than to ourselves? Why did we choose this particular path? "
It takes TIME to ...
The question of our vocation is beautiful, serious and profound, and sometimes it takes time to become aware of its magnitude. It could even bother us internally, which is only normal because our whole life is at stake ...
The choice....
When we make the choice to enter the seminary or a religious community, it isn’t because of a personal taste or inclination, much less for a career project! It is the concrete response to what is perceived as a direct call from God. This personal call touches our heart, like a blazing fire that manifests itself through a strong and deep desire to which we willingly respond...
