I have
come to kindle a fire on earth. |
The Spirit who impels one to proclaim Jesus Christ burned in the
heart of Marie Rivier. For her, transmitting the Good News was
a necessity.

I
would like to see
the fervor of the Apostles
in the community
ablaze with the love of Jesus Christ.
Marie Rivier |
At the
beginning of the third millennium, the urgency of evangelization
remains. The Church summons all baptized:
God is preparing a great springtime
for the Gospel... We must increase our apostolic zeal to pass on to
others the light and the joy of faith and to this high ideal the
whole people of God must be educated.
John Paul II |
|
It is
impossible for us not to speak about what we have seen and heard.
Our apostolate commands us from
within and springs forth from our love of Christ. It is effective
inasmuch as we surrender to him so that he may speak and act in us,
for without him we can do nothing.

How
I would want our Congregation to carry the fire of the love of God
and the knowledge of Jesus Christ everywhere!
Marie Rivier
Members of a Congregation of active
life, we are all sent in the name of Jesus Christ.

Marie Rivier, woman of the Word, wanted her religious family
to be totally oriented toward the explicit proclamation of Jesus
Christ,
especially to children and young people,
with particular attention to the least favored.

Christian education of youth, the mission proper to the
Congregation
was inspired by God to our Foundress and recognized
by the Church. By entrusting it to us, the Lord wishes
again today to instill in our hearts, for the children and the
young that he sends to us the same love with which he inflamed
the heart of Marie Rivier.
