Becoming a PDDM takes a gradual process of knowing oneself more deeply in order to be formed into the person of Jesus Christ, through the Pauline charisma and the PDDM spirituality. This journey of discipleship takes place in various stages and engages the whole person: physical, psychological and spiritual. All this in order to build together the "community in mission" while the person continues to grow in her sense of belongingness to Christ and in her commitment to the specific PDDM mission in the Church.
