In His faithful love, God has called us to a special consecration, deeply rooted in our baptism to live the evangelical counsels as Little Sisters of Jesus and Mary. God gives us the gift and mission to proclaim to others His overwhelming goodness.

Relying on this grace of divine election, we freely respond by offering our total gift of self to Christ in love. We accept His pattern of life -- chaste, poor, and obedient -- so that our whole life is consecrated to God.

A life in daily fidelity to our vocation is a gift and at the same time a lifetime pursuit. Aware of our human limitations, we place all our trust in the faithfulness of God who calls us. An exterior sign of our consecration is the religious habit of our congregation. It must be worn at all times.

Through her life, Mary made visible in a perfect way the glad tidings of the Gospel and participated in the redemptive mission of her Son. In her complete dedication to the Lord in faith and love, she is the model of our daily surrender to the ever new call of God. We honor Mary as Mother of the Church and as patroness of our congregation, and St. Joseph as our provider and protector.

In our daily life we strive to imitate and acquire the deep spirituality of Brother Charles de Foucauld; his love of the Eucharist, his universal charity and love for the poor, his simplicity and poverty of life-style, and his contemplative spirit.
