THE CHARISM OF OUR RELIGIOUS ORDER

Our charism of Hospitality within the Church is a gift of the Spirit, which leads us to the compassionate and merciful Jesus of the Gospel, who went about doing good to all "and healing every kind of disease and infirmity".

In virtue of this gift, we live our lives by the action of the Holy Spirit who makes us participate in a special way in God's merciful love. This experience challenges us as brothers to attitudes of loving kindness and self-giving, enables us to carry out the mission of proclaiming and bringing about God's Presence among those who are suffering. Through the Charism of Hospitality our loves are opened up to be transformed and through this transformation we are drawn to be with those people on the 'edges of our society'.

Through this charism we keep the merciful presence of Jesus of Nazareth alive within time: accepting the will of God, by his incarnation he makes himself the brother of all people and is at the service of all in relationship.
