Our Way Today<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are part of this living tradition. In silence and in song, in solitude and in sisterhood, we seek to be poor with the poor Christ, to live joyfully in God\u2019s presence, and to offer our lives for the Church and the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the Gospel way of life<\/strong> \u2014 timeless, radiant, and always new.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our Life and Mission in the Church<\/mark>
We become partners of the mystery of the Church.  “United to the Church we are as a banner, a beacon of light for those in the Church and for those outside of her who seek salvation.\u201d We participate in the Church’s virginal and spiritual fertility.  To enrich her with the fruits of sanctity as St. Clare indicated in her third letter to St. Agnes, “I consider you a collaborator of the same God and a support for the wavering members of her body.\u201d We take part in her life, sanctity and salvific mission: We make ours the needs of the Church both universal and local,  above all through the personal and communal prayer of divine praise through the recitation of the Liturgy of the Hours and the active participation in the Eucharist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being called to be a very clear sign of the Church, we profess adherence and reverence to the Roman Pontiff, active obedience to all the bishops and honor to all priests because they administer to us spirit and life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Let the sisters to whom the Lord has given the grace of working work faithfully and devotedly after the Hour of Terce at work that pertains to a virtuous life ads the common good. Let them do this in such a way that, while they banish idleness, the enemy of the soul, they do not extinguish the Spirit of holy prayer and devotion to which all other things of our earthly existence must contribute.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
