“You have only one Model: Jesus.
Do not look for another.”

sister Magdeleine
Jesus spent 30 years in Nazareth,
living and working among people in such an
ordinary way that it is barely spoken of in the Gospels.
These were years of truly taking on our
human condition so that he might live the rest of his life, and
his death, as a "man from Nazareth.”
France - kitchen work
Rather than having Church-related jobs, we
choose to work in the "market place" alongside
others.
We support ourselves by ordinary, mostly
unskilled, work through which we share the concrete
reality of the lives of so many.
Egypt - working in a sewing factory
It is within this setting that we choose
to live out our call to a vowed religious life.
By the vows we express our intention to
surrender our whole lives to God's love and the service of
God's kingdom.
