Following
Jesus, who came on earth to gather together the scattered children
of God, (Jn. 11:52) we make our own the Founder's dream of
being Family in the Church and in the world - a family where
communion is built. This communion is a gift received and
celebrated and a mission to be accomplished.
Contemplating
the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, who neither loved, sought
nor desired anything but God Alone, and following the first Christian
communities who had but one heart and mind, the whole Family has a
passion for the Reign of God.
Our
relationships as Family are characterised by simplicity and
gentleness that promote unity.
As
a Family on mission, living in different situations, in the
diversity and complementarity of our vocations, we commit ourselves to:
-
promote
human dignity,
- respect
the diversity of cultures,
- work
for a "new world" by concern for justice and peace,
- safeguard
the integrity of creation.
We
need:
It
is Christ who unites us. As members of a Family on mission, each one
finds her/his strength and foundation in the Word of God, prayer and
the Eucharist.
The
collaboration and participation of all the Holy Family vocations are
necessary to live this commitment.
