The charism of the Servants and spirit of our mission
HOPE is our charism, the inspiration much needed in the world and so often absent. We are called to offer hope that brings peace, the peace “..that the world cannot understand.” Hope allows us to be transformed by the Spirit, and as the second of the three theological virtues, it cannot exist without the activity of the first (faith) and third (charity). Hope opens our hearts and minds to God’s grace. “ In the Church there are a great many institutes of consecrated life which have different gifts according to the grace which has been given them…”( C.577)
