A Foundress Forged in War: The Charismatic Spirit of the Servants of the Pierced Hearts
The National Register portal reports on the life and work of Mother Adela Galindo, foundress of the Servants of the Pierced Hearts of Jesus and Mary (SCTJM), a religious congregation founded in Miami in 1990. The article traces her journey from war-torn Nicaragua to the United States, where she established a community marked by charismatic spirituality, Marian devotion, and active engagement in parish and educational apostolates. It highlights her keynote address at the 2024 National Eucharistic Congress, her personal charisma, and the rapid growth of her institute across multiple countries. Yet beneath the veneer of piety and dynamism lies a theological and ecclesiological landscape deeply compromised by the very errors condemned by the pre-conciliar Magisterium—errors that render this “congregation” not a renewal of religious life, but a symptom of the post-conciliar abomination.
