Sisters of St. Joseph, Buffalo, NY

Spirituality

Consensus Statement of the Central Ideas of Jean-Pierre Medaille, S.J.

Stimulated by the Holy Spirit of Love
and
receptive to his inspirations

the Sister of St. Joseph moves always toward
  profound love of God
  and
  love of neighbor without distinction

  from whom she does not separate herself
  and
  for whom, in the following of Christ,
  she works in order to achieve unity

     both of neighbor with neighbor
     and
     neighbor with God
     directly in this apostolate
     and
     indirectly through works of charity

in humility—the spirit of the Incarnate Word (Ph.2:5-11)

in sincere charity—the manner of Saint Joseph
  whose name she bears

in an Ignatian-Salesian climate: that is,
   with an orientation towards excellence
                                                                     (le plus)
   tempered by gentleness, peace, and joy.


  (as found in the primitive Constitutions).
