Role in the Church

Unity with Christ
Our only task is to develop within that Divine life that we received
at baptism, until we reach the
“full
stature of Christ” when we can say with the apostle:
“It
is no longer I that lives, but Christ in me”.
Hidden Apostolate
At the same time, we fulfill the role entrusted us by the Church: as
main arteries, we should spread forth the Divine life through the
entire Mystical Body.
“Apart
from all, to all we are united, so that it is in the name of all
that we stand before the living God” (Rule 34,2). Our apostolate
consists in that we give ourselves entirely to God for Himself
alone. In this way, we reach souls directly through God.
Witness
Our life must also be a witness. “Making him who is, the exclusive
center of our lives through our Profession, we testify to a world
excessively absorbed in earthly things, that there is no God but
him. Our life clearly shows that something of the joys of heaven is
present already here below; it prefigures our risen state and
anticipates in a manner the final renewal of the world” (Rule 34,3).
