Spiritual Identity

In the Incarnation, God offers us everything,

and enables us to bring everything back to him.

 

With Mary, with a simple and joyful heart,

we offer ourselves totally with trust to the love of God incarnating in this world.  

We ask for the grace of simplicity of heart and contemplative gaze

which discovers the deep unity of what exists.

The certainty of God's love for each one of us and for all creation

is the source of our joy.

 

In community, we share a love always ready to forgive,

remaining attentive to our own need for conversion,

confident in the power of the Holy Spirit who transforms our hearts.

Our reciprocal love makes us capable of a sincere welcome towards all.

We ensure that simplicity marks all aspects of  our life.

We maintain in creative harmony

community and solitude, action and contemplation.

 

In tumultuous and difficult times when the  path may be uncertain,

we are called to announce and signify with our lives, in collaboration  with others,

the Good News of the Kingdom, justice, love and peace.

Our desire to make Jesus known

opens us up to all peoples, nations and cultures.

As at the origin of our Congregation, we privilege the service of the poor,

with a particular commitment to women and young people.

With eyes fixed on Jesus, with firm hope in his saving love,

we seek to discern the will of God in the light of the Holy Spirit.

 

Solidarity with the joys and sufferings of the human family,

we offer everything to God,

in thanksgiving, intercession, adoration,

through the rhythm of the Church's prayer and attention to the Word of God.

We come to the Eucharist,

offering the world and ourselves to the transforming power of the Spirit

to become more and more the Body of Christ, to the glory of God.
