Contemplative Life
The IVE founded its contemplative branch on December 25, 1988. These "vanguards of apostolic works" secure from the Lord the graces necessary for the salvation of souls and the fruits of the Institute's missions. The contemplatives of the IVE are fundamentally dedicated to the life of prayer, especially to Eucharistic adoration, to the apostolate of religious presence in mission countries, to study and to research. In conformity with the Institute's clerical nature, the male contemplatives also care for the sacramental and spiritual needs of the faithful.
