Essentially apostolic, [the Congregation] is called to live by the power of the Spirit, the source of its communion and universality, the mystery of Christ, sent by the Father to announce the Good News of Salvation.

Claudine Thevenet, entirely given over to the action of the Spirit, having experienced an intimate knowledge of the active goodness of Christ, and moved by the miseries of her time, came to have but one desire: to communicate this felt knowledge; and one anguish: to see abandoned to their misfortune those who lived in ignorance of God.

…The aim of the Congregation is “To make Jesus and Mary known and loved” by means of Christian education in all social milieux, with the preference which the Foundress had for the young, and among them for the poor.

…“Seeking God in all things and all things in God”, the Religious of Jesus and Mary wish to spend their lives in single-minded fidelity to His Will, “to do all their actions with the sole desire of pleasing God.”
