Who we are Inspired by the
faith, courage and initiative of the founder of the Little
Company of Mary, Mary Potter, we are women of many
nations who have heard a call in our lives to "FOLLOW
JESUS", in the spirit of Mary.
We are women who
simply believe beyond belief that our small talents and our
capacity to love and to serve, echo the love and service Jesus
gave to those he encountered in his life.
We shall love with our whole hearts our
whole minds...when we do this, we shall be real
Christians...

Our
charism is to live as he lived and as Mary lived: Simply,
truthfully and full of care for those around us, particularly
those in need.
Our works
may vary, but in all we do, we are called to show to the world
the tender mercy of God, and the mother love of the Good
Shepherd, who laid down his life for his sheep.
Our vision statements
direct us to the reality that we - as vowed women within the
Catholic church - are to see and act through the lens of
justice, and to make visible the truth that all women and men are
to share the fruits of God's graciousness in Jesus
.
|
The simple gift we bring to the church and world is that -
in emulation of Jesus - we live lives of self-giving
love so that none may be lost or feel themselves
abandoned.
Our model of
faith and service is Mary, the mother of Jesus. Following her
example, we seek to bring Christ to the world. Each
community reflects the cultural diversity of which it is a part,
but all are works are towards reaching out to the poor and
marginalized, the sick and the dying.
