Spirit

Our spirit of joyful simplicity and trust in God is the living expression of our charism. It grows out of a deep faith in our loving God to whom we abandon ourselves completely. In directing our life to God alone, seeking to find him in all things, we experience joy and inner freedom. Such a disposition enables us to be open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. When we experience the mystery of the cross, we trust in God’s love and goodness and respond with courage and serenity.

Living in this spirit of simplicity, we gradually grow in the virtues that characterize us: charity, humility and obedience.  When we remain receptive to God’s tender love enfolding us always, we like Mary, bring Christ to others.
