A Day in the Life
OUR DAILY LIFE
“Within the life of the institute, each Sister seeks transformation in Christ through an existence that is ‘completely Eucharistic’ and a sure pathway to liberty of spirit. The entire life of the community and its works are nourished by the Eucharist, first at the Lord’s table in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and additionally through periods of Eucharistic adoration daily. Graces of communion with the living God serve as a stimulus to greater charity, which is expressed to a great extent in the various missionary, doctrinal, and evangelical dimensions of the institute’s apostolic life.” Constitutions 5
