Our Life

Our life involves following Christ as disciples. Each congregation you investigate has a particular way of living out our gospel commitment. Our spirituality is rooted in our experience of God. The face of Providence is the face of God warming us with a glance that communicates an ever-faithful, tender love. This face of God invites us to respond with a gift of self that is filled with love and gratitude. Its assurance leads us to risk all in trust and confidence. We strive to be the face of God’s Providence for others and for creation.

We live the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience.These vows lead to life and witness even though they also demand discipline and sacrifice.

Community Life is essential to our way of living. It offers challenges but is a source of joy and support for us as we attempt to join in the loving self-gift that we are called to make as we follow Christ and unite ourselves with him in the paschal mystery. Every community determines a schedule for morning prayer and evening prayer daily as well as regular times of faith sharing. Meals are a time of laughter and mutual concern about the events of each person’s day. The community provides an atmosphere conducive to recollection and prayer for each sister.

Our founder, Father John Martin Moye, encouraged us to incorporate four virtues into our lives as our special gift to the church and the world. We call these our fundamental virtues. They are poverty, charity, simplicity and abandonment to Divine Providence.
