Our spirit

Our spirit, represented by a view of Earth from space

Missionary Sisters of Service are women of faith and mission. The energy of their lives is drawn from their communion with God, nourished daily by prayer and contemplation.

Conscious of living in the Mystery of the Divine Presence, they listen from the depth of their hearts to the Word of God as it is revealed in–

  • the whole of creation
  • the wisdom of the Scriptures,
  • the events of our world.

In the light of this Word, and drawing on the rich heritage of the Church’s worship and teaching, they discern the needs and situations to which they are called to respond. They bring to their response God’s passion for justice and compassion for all peoples.

Missionary Sisters of Service combine a strong sense of community with a self-reliant spirit. They are creative, flexible and adaptable in their response to people and situations. In a spirit of gratitude and joy they share their sense of community and friendship with people wherever they are.
