Spirituality

 
   
   

Caterina and Giuditta, profoundly convinced of the providence of God in human events, lived their daily life as an experience of the infinite divine love, which always sustained and accompanied them in their educative mission.
"They never lost heart, but trusting in Him awaited the necessary help from divine providence".

Guided by the Spirit, they sought, discovered and gradually realized the plan of God, and in trustful abandonment to Him, "the beginning, center and end of all their actions", they oriented their whole lives to His greater glory.

The Foundresses accepted in docility the will of God for them, and in the "contemplation of the divine things" they found the strength and wisdom to conform themselves to the crucified Christ, "their most loving spouse";
"He alone" was the source of their consecration lived for the educative mission. In the imitation of His virtues, above all, "humility, patience, goodness and charity", they found the sense and style of their spiritual maternity in the "guardianship" of those "souls redeemed by His blood and entrusted to them as a precious treasure".

Caterina and Giuditta , moved by the incessant desire to conform themselves to Christ, accepted with equilibrium and serenity the events of daily life and lived even their suffering and hardships in trust. In their educative plan they committed themselves to be a living "picture" of the virtues that they taught.

They loved and invoked Mary most Holy, as the authentic model of their imitation of Christ and to her they entrusted themselves in every need.

In a dynamic fidelity to the spirit of the origins, following the example of the Foundresses and of the sisters who have gone before us and who have with vitality preserved the charism entrusted to the Congregation, we express our apostolic spirituality witnessing in every situation to the primacy of the love of God through the educative mission.

We give witness to our consecration of poverty and of our belonging to our Institute by wearing the prescribed habit. Where valid apostolic demands require, the Superior General may permit the sisters to wear a simple and dignified dress with the proper symbol of our charism, in such a way that our consecration is recognized.

In a total abandonment to God we live the same sentiments of Christ, the crucified Spouse, in order to gradually conform ourselves to Him and to be a credible sign of His redemptive love.

We reflect on and pray over personal, community and social events; we meditate assiduously on the Word of God in order to deepen our contemplative capacity and our zeal for the apostolic action, and to search the ways of the Lord in the signs of the times.

We live our apostolic spirituality as a daily asceticism, facing difficulties and sufferings in the light of the paschal mystery, with the serenity and trust of one who places her hope in God, in the certainty that "the more we live in Christ the better we can serve others".

We entrust ourselves to the tender motherhood of Mary, sublime example of perfect consecration, in order to live our vocation in fidelity; like Her we place ourselves at the service of the divine plan through a total gift of ourselves.
