Our identity: Daughters of Charity - Servants of the poor is a GIFT of God.

It is a gift that asks for our free response. It is fulfilled in us through a gradual process, so that all the aspects of our life take on the FORM of Jesus, Son  of the Father and Servant of Yahweh.

     
     
     
     

 

 
    Magdalene has traced out this journey of identification with Jesus Crucified for us.      

Daughters

of Charity

 

AS  DAUGHTERS OF CHARITY,

     
     
   
    through an assiduous contemplation of the Greatest Love manifested by Jesus on the Cross      
   
   

      <INSPICE ET FAC SECUNDUM EXEMPLAR>

                                  
    we learn how to "die to ourselves" to be born again as a new creation.      
   

 Servants 

of the Poor

 

    SERVANTS OF THE POOR

     
   
    This second part of our name challenges us to assume the same FORM OF THE MISSION of the Son, who speaks of the love of the Father, making Himself a Servant .

He involves Himself in the historical context into which He is incarnated. He takes on the weakness of all and tries to reach out to those "farthest away".

     
   
   

"As servants of the Poor we owe them

our attention,  labour, cared and thoughts   M d C (RD p.6)

     
   

                   Like Mary,

 

  Mother of Charity at the foot of the Cross,

 

       we become what we contemplate.

    We learn from her, God's faithful handmade,

    to remain in LOVE in order to generate LIFE.
