Our Charism
Specially consecrated to the Holy Spirit, in the footsteps of Jesus, the Spiritan Sisters have the vocation to be sent on Mission. Our primary concern is to focus on the sectors that are particularly lacking, the most neglected.
We live the Spiritan simplicity after the example of Jesus, the Incarnate Word, who came to dwell among us. Our love is expressed in respect for people, sharing life and openness to a culture different from ours.
Where we are, the essential thing is to bear witness to love so that our very life proclaims the Lord.
The deepening of the sayings and traditions of the people who welcome us, and the study of their languages, are indispensable for an encounter in truth.
‘‘I want to be a little star
In the firmament of heaven
for the greater glory of God,
the salvation of my soul,
of my sisters,
of the poor, white and black.
My God, you who are so good,
I want to make you known to other peoples’’.
Sister Eugénie Caps
Spirit of strength who makes us witnesses of the Risen Christ,
Spirit of love that brings all men together,
Spirit of vigor and apostolic boldness to undertake everything,
Spirit of total and final fidelity to the mission received,
Spirit of the universal brotherhood open to the diversity of nations,
Spirit of gratuitousness Who desires only the good for humankind and the glory of God.
Spirit of the living God that fills us with joy, sign of the Kingdom we announce.
