The ACI Family is represented by lay men and women whose desire is to collaborate with the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in re-establishing the peace and reconciliation brought by Christ.
Requests from women and men around the world attest to a movement of the Holy Spirit inspired by Vatican Council II. In the spirit of their Foundress, Saint Raphaela Mary, the Handmaids want to share all that they have, and we value the gifts shared with them from our lay friends.
ACI Associates find in the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus an interracial, multicultural community whose direction corresponds to their own striving for reparation & reconciliation which is so needed in the world today.
ACI Associates look to the Handmaids for a spirituality of inclusive, compassionate love which has the power to address the world’s indifference to God and hunger for meaning. They are an extension of the Handmaid spirit into the broader community of the Church and world. In a spirit of hope, this relationship promotes an integral understanding and practice of shared responsibility, human interdependence, dynamic creativity, and people empowerment.
