But her passion is not for creatures of the sea or land, but for the human person.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>She has the heart of a missionary.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>What does Jesus see in the heart of his missionary? A passion to help many souls who hunger and thirst for God.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Mary Smith grew up in a strong Catholic family of nine children. Her schooling from grade school through junior year in San Diego State University immersed her in the secular world. Convicted of the beauty of her Catholic faith she was also comfortable engaging with people who did not know Jesus. Actually, she seemed to thrive on the opportunity to find ways to draw people nearer to God.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Shortly after consecrating her life to God on September 1, 1994, she was sent by her superiors to Hungary. Hungary had recently shed its communist ties. The Hungarians\u2019 faith was just beginning to awaken. She recalls her experience, <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI arrived five years after the fall of communism. I experienced the consequences of this on the people\u2014on their faith life, on their sense of initiative, on their sense of dignity. All of this was kind of squelched during communism. In the US, a free country, sharing one\u2019s faith is more permissible. But in Hungary, evangelization was uncommon and unknown. But the human heart longs for something more\u2014love, happiness, and ultimately God. When you would just help them to grow as a person that satiated something inside of them and sometimes, it opened the door to talk about Jesus.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Mary discovered the value of her life consecrated to God, as well as the charism alive in her heart as she began to accompany people in their faith journey.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>But the treasure of those first missionary years was the precious bond with Jesus that was forged in the midst of completely new surroundings, a strange and difficult language and a foreign culture. Jesus became the secure center of her life.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 =<\/span>She recalls that time of intimacy. \u201cJesus knew my language and I knew his.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">From Hungary she moved to the Midwest where she continued serving with the Regnum Christi missionary spirit, accompanying young girls and women in the spiritual life and inviting them to participate in Christ\u2019s mission in the Church.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>Since 2009 Mary has been stationed in Washington DC, working in Women\u2019s ministry. She is not afraid to create new initiatives that respond relevantly to the interests and needs of the people she serves. She loves forming and engaging the Christian apostle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Jodi Long is one of those women who met Mary in 2016, \u201cBeing very new to the faith and never really being active in a religious setting of any sort, her presence next to me at each meeting <\/span><span class=\"s1\">was like a true gift from God.\u00a0 Her kindness, joyful spirit, and her amazing instincts in sensing my newfound hunger and thirst, gave me such\u00a0comfort and\u00a0even confidence in knowing, I was on the right path.\u201d As their relationship blossomed, Jodi asked Mary to sponsor her into the Catholic Faith <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Mary-Smith-225x300.jpg\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-20888 size-medium lazyload\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-20888 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Mary-Smith-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\"><\/noscript>\u201cI&#8217;ve come to realize that just as Jesus personally accompanied and formed His own disciples, this is also at the heart of who a Consecrated Woman is to me &#8211; a spiritual mother that encounters, forms and<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0accompanies others by meeting us where we are and embracing us.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">While Mary will say that the evangelizing work is the same for all Consecrated Women of Regnum Christi, God makes the most of the gifts and personal charisms of each one.
