The article presents the history of the founding of the Verbum Dei Missionary Institute as a new form of consecrated life. It was founded in 1963 by the Rev. Jaime Bonet Bonet in Mallorca (Spain) and approved as a diocesan lay apostolic association. Its founding itinerary ends with the recognition and approval on April 15, 2000 by the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life as the Fraternidad Misionera Verbum Dei. The legal configuration of the Fraternidad Misionera Verbum Dei accompanies the founding journey and the transmission of the charism. Its development is linked to the mission promoted by the founder, the missionary experience and fidelity to the charism of all who have felt called to live the vocation and mission of the Fraternidad Misionera Verbum Dei.
