"Love never says: it's enough!" In response to the call and mission received, they are engaged in prayer and work following the footsteps of Jesus the Good Shepherd, who is incarnated in the poverty and suffering of the world today, bringing compassion and mercy. Here is a short summary of some of their daily occupations: |
 |
Praying for who are in difficulty; |
|
Giving hope to persons; |
|
Reaching out to people in order to meet them on their own surroundings; |
|
Carrying in their hearts the misery and poverty of people; |
|
Listening, consoling, encouraging people to get back on their feet; |
|
Helping heal their wounded hearts by being kind; |
|
Working ceaselessly for a more just world. |
|
Accepting people with respect and "non-judgmentally"; |
|
Through telephone calls and correspondence helping persons in need visits the sick and elderly; |
| Finally,
keeping busy in the presence of God. And when the time comes for them to meet Jesus the Good Shepherd, to die happily for having loved, served, prayed and suffered for the cause of the Reign of God and the salvation of humanity. |
