FROM THE SERMON OF THE BEATITUDES SPRINGS OUR ROOTS

As Franciscans - We are called to incarnate a profound love for life in all its manifestations. This implies a harmonious relationship with creation, the cordial WEL-COME to the multiform expression of cultures, the fraternal service to life, promotion and the zeal for its restoration where ever it may be threatened or wounded.

As Hospitallers - Moved by the Holy Spirit, the Immaculate Hospitaller leads the sisters through the paths of Hospitality: A listening to the word which generates an active WEL-COME and going forth to meet all needy brethren: the "LEPERS" and the  "CRUCIFIED ONES" of today.
