ABOUT US
Where does our inspiration come from?
Our Constitution guides our aspirations to become a healing presence, wherever we live in the world and, as Medical Mission Sisters, helps to shape our every action.
Below you can read an extract from it.
Our Constitution:
A Society Called to Mission
Drawn by God present in the center of our being and
in all created life and in the Spirit of Jesus,
We are called to be a healing presence at the heart of a wounded world,
to witness to the integrity of all creation,
and to build one world where the gifts of all people, all cultures, all creation,
are affirmed and celebrated.
We commit ourselves to promote healing and wholeness
in all aspects of life,
to seek to preserve the integrity of life
and to act where this integrity is threatened,
to participate in the movement of empowerment of those made poor
and those who are oppressed, weaving care and compassion into the web of life.
Together with others similarly called,
we participate in the birth of a new world reality
as we link our lives with those made poor, with those who suffer,
with those who are victims of systemic injustice,
labouring to bring about our mutual liberation,
publicly witnessing to alternate ways of being and behaving,
pushing beyond those boundaries which separate and divide.
