Our Mission
OUR
SPIRITAN VOCATION
(From
The Spiritan Rule of Life)
"The
Spirit of the Lord is on me,
for He
has anointed me,
to
bring the good news to the afflicted.
He has
sent me
to
proclaim liberty to captives,
sight
to the blind,
to let
the oppressed go free,
to
proclaim a year of favour from the Lord"
(Luke 4:18-19).
Sent
by the Father and consecrated by the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ came
to save all people. He continues in the world of today this mission
of salvation of which the Church is the sacrament. In the midst of
God's people, among the numerous and varied vocations which the Holy
Spirit inspires, we Spiritans are called by the Father and "set
apart" (Acts 13:2) to follow Jesus and to announce the Good News
of the Kingdom.
