We, SSpS: Holy Spirit Missionary Sisters
|
– are a Religious Missionary
Community of Women Disciples in an international Congregation, called to share in
the universal mission of God in Jesus, in the dynamism of the Holy Spirit.
Our motto: “May the Holy Triune God live in our
hearts and in the hearts of all peoples”, contains in nutshell our Spirituality
and Charism. Mission is the origin and purpose of our Congregation. Bearing a universal
character to it, sisters from different parts of the world, are called to witness
to the Communion of the Triune God, in the diversity of cultures and nationalities.
And as missionaries, we are called to embrace all people across cultures and faith
traditions. With the worldwide nature of our mission, internationality is essential
to our community living.

We express our missionary spirituality in today’s context as :
|
As SSpS, we are loved and
called by the Triune God from all nations
to be a Gospel community,
consecrated for
Missionthrough the dynamism of the Holy Spirit,
nourished by the Word and the Eucharist and summoned
to live the Paschal Mystery.
We are hence, constantly challenged
To discern the movements of the Spirit individually
and as community;
To be a compassionate presence of Jesus
in his prophetic mission especially in frontier
situations;
To grow in right relationships in our communities,
with others and with all creation;
and
To reveal the feminine face of God in our world
reality.
