Comboni Missionaries of the Heart of Jesus

‘Comboni Missionaries of the Heart of Jesus’ reflects our identity. References to the Mission, to Comboni and the Heart of Jesus are not simply figurative elements but constitute our being. In fact, these elements have been assumed and manifested in the lives of the missionaries who have gone before us and who, like the hidden stones of a great building, have helped to lay the present-day foundations of our identity.

The Comboni identity contains some elements which are, at the same time, both fundamental and dynamic, since they define it, enrich it and continue to renew it. The Comboni identity consists in the ability to enter into the dynamic of "missio Dei", to absorb the charismatic experience of St. Daniel Comboni and assume the Heart of Jesus as the source and model of life, in order to give one's life for "the poorest and most abandoned".
