Who Are the Beggars of Christ Missionaries?
Beggars of Christ Missionaries (BOC) is a Roman Catholic missionary community inspired by the Gospel of Jesus Christ and rooted in the conviction that every human person stands before God as a beggar, completely dependent upon God’s Divine Providence, Mercy, Grace, and Love.
Our identity is found not in what we possess, but in the One who possesses our hearts. We seek to live the Gospel with humility, trust, surrender, and joyful service, becoming instruments of Christ’s Divine Healing in a wounded world.
Our Spiritual Motto
Begging for Mercy.
Surrendering to His Holy Will.
Bringing His Divine Healing to Others.
All Through Jesus, With Jesus, and In Jesus!
We Are Not Just Followers. We Are Beggars.
A Beggar of Christ comes before Jesus with nothing but a faithful and humble heart, fully aware of their desperate need for Him, and discovers in Him everything.
This identity is not one of shame, but of grace. It is to recognize our poverty of spirit while rejoicing that we have been chosen, loved, and redeemed by God. It is to live with open hands, tear stained prayers, and childlike trust in a Father who heals, provides, forgives, and saves.
Before we can serve others, we must first receive His mercy. Before we can lead others to Christ, we must first surrender ourselves to His Holy Will. Only then can we become instruments through whom Christ brings His Divine Healing to the world.
