The consecrated women of Miles Jesu fill a variety of needs around the world. You will find these Miles Jesu members active in Pro-Life movements, Boys' Towns and Girls' Towns, providing education, feeding the hungry, hosting summer camps and helping other women discern a vocation. They publish newsletters, run schools and sponsor retreats. They work to support the teachings of the Catholic Church in their individual communities by being ambassadors for Christ.
These "Domus" members live in community and work outside the community in their professions using their consecrated life as a Catholic role model for those of their co-workers that may be estranged from the Church. (Paul Murphy was a great example of this type of Miles Jesu member.) The community life is a great support for people who have a vocation to continue in their profession, but have the desire to live the consecrated life.
What all the Miles Jesu Ladies have in common:
- Devotion and reverence for the Most Blessed Sacrament
- A great and tender devotion for the Immaculate Heart of our Lady of the Epiphany, Queen of the Universe
- Zeal for the salvation of souls
Jesus's weapons to conquer
...We make our own the words of our Lord-Leader " I have come from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the One who sent Me." (Jn 6:38;4:34;5:30) and those of the Mother, fortified "as an army set in battle array" (Office of BVM): "I am the handmaid of the Lord, let what you have said be done to me" (Lk 1:38).
"In the measure of our work we strive to fulfill in the most perfect way possible our personal, family, social or professional duties. We do not know when God will finally reign supreme over the whole world, but we must help with the smallness of our intensive and enthusiastic work and the greatness of our prayer to submit every power, authority and nation to His Divine Power, the Power of Christ the King." (From the Miles Jesu Constitutions)

Our vocation is to be spouses of Jesus and spiritual mothers, available at the total service of the Church, to bring God's Love to a world that is sad and depressed because it has made peace with sin.
"Magdalen at Jesus' feet chose th better part, but not the best, says St. Augustine; for the best is to unite both parts, the active and the contemplative, as St. Catherine of Siena did."
–Fr. L. Gisbert, Life of St. Catherine of Siena...,1784
