The word “missionary” is very negative because it gives these images of imposing one’s faith in others.
But our charism in a sense is an answer to a deep human need that we put in the slogan, “Making of the world one human family!”
Our life is really like a family. You have siblings that you like and the ones that you just want to grab by the neck. It is part of it.
To be a family as a community means to take care of the others as if they were members of your own family and not just people that you have met by chance.
Our mission is not about converting people but being a witness among people of a different lifestyles.
