The Institute of the Incarnate Word (IVE) (Spanish: Instituto del Verbo Encarnado) is a Roman Catholic religious institute founded in Argentina by Fr. Carlos Miguel Buela on March 25, 1984. The Institute is a Clerical Institute of Consecrated Life of Diocesan Right which includes both priests and religious brothers of either apostolic or contemplative life. The Institute is the male branch of the Religious Family of the Incarnate Word: a union of religious institutes founded by Fr. Buela. The other two branches are the female religious community known as the Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matará (SSVM) and the Secular Third Order.
Members of the Institute profess the vows of chastity, poverty and obedience. In addition, a fourth vow of Marian slavery is professed following the practice of St. Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort.
Fr. Carlos Miguel Buela founded the Institute of the Incarnate Word in Argentina on March 25, 1984, on the Solemnity of the Annunciation with the approval of Bishop León Kruk in the Diocese of San Rafael.
A few years later, in 1988, Fr. Buela founded the female branch, the Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matará, with the same charism and mission. After passing almost two decades in the initial stages as a new religious community, the IVE became a religious congregation of diocesan right in May 8, 2004 under the guidance of resident diocesan Bishop Andrea Maria Erba of the Diocese of Velletri-Segni near Rome, Italy, the site of the Institute’s main house.
On May 8, 2004, the Institute of the Incarnate Word was canonically erected as a Religious Congregation of Diocesan Right through the approval of Mons. Andrea Maria Erba, Bishop of Velletri-Segni. At the same time the Constitutions also received official approval by a competent authority of the Church. Mons. Erba had previously received the Institute's General House in the year 2000.
On March 25, 2009 the Institute celebrated its 25th Anniversary of foundation, and a year later saw the election of a new General Superior, Fr. Carlos Walker, IVE, after the retirement of Fr. Carlos Buela, IVE.
