Our Charism

Like any religious Congregation, we have our Charism, that is, our particular way of understanding Jesus, interpreting him, and following him, which translates into a unique spirituality called the Spirituality of the Cross: a concrete lifestyle and a mission to which we dedicate the best of our efforts.
Our Charism is priestly, and we formulate it like this: "To be a living memory of the way of being and acting of Jesus Christ priest and victim, contemplative, and solidary, and who gives his life for others." We imitate his lifestyle by living the evangelical counsels of chastity, poverty, and obedience.
In other words, we are a group of men who, having discovered Jesus as the Lord of our lives, have become passionate about his way of life: close and available for all; in love with the Father who is goodness and mercy; dedicated to serving all, especially those who suffer; men who risk and offer their lives for the Kingdom and give themselves up to death because "no one has greater love than the one who gives his life for his friends" (Jn 15:13).
Called by God to participate in the same vocation, we are one family, in a communion of persons, and with the same spirit and mission. Therefore, we seek to live in our communities united by the bond of charity, like the early Christians having one heart and one soul. 
We are one of the five Works of the Cross (founded by Venerable Concepcion Cabrera) and members of the Family of the Cross, so we share this priestly Spirituality with many other men and women in the Church.
