Puerto Rico and the Missionary Servants: An Historical Study of the Missionary Servants of the Most Blessed Trinity in Puerto Rico, 1923-1954
Abstract
Background of the Study. Human souls that precious charge which His Father had given Him made Our Divine Lord a constant traveler on the dusty sin-soaked roads of Palestine, ceaselessly searching for the desolate, the weary, the abandoned sinner, the prodigal. He was ever reaching out to gather into His loving arms the fragments of these souls lest of all that His Father had given Him, even one would be lost.Christ's mission was above all a spiritual one. He came to found a religion that would rebind the creature to the Creator, to establish a Church that would for all time direct the individual to the end for which he was created a Church mindful of the fact that the supernatural life is built on the natural and consequently salvation must be worked out in a material body subject to the demands of organized society and social environment.
