Community Life
“But I am among you as one who serves…”
“It is therefore impossible to understand religious community unless we start from its being a gift from on high, from its being a mystery, from its being rooted in the very heart of the blessed and sanctifying Trinity, who wills it as part of the mystery of the Church, for the life of the world.”

“Over all these, put on love…”
To be called to the Missionaries of the Word is to be called to the common life. Community life is a school of charity in which each sister draws from her intimate union with the Lord to love, serve and bring joy to her sisters. Community life is a true religious family in which we share the joys, and trials of daily life and seek to “build up one another in love."
