Freedom in simplicity
In the spirit of their promise of poverty, the members practise detachment in their attitude to earthly possessions, learning to hold loosely even the things they use. Activities undertaken on behalf of the community are covered by the common fund, so that nothing is claimed as one's own and everything is placed at the service of the mission.
Poverty is a call to share all goods in common, to live a simple life, and to depend totally on God. Freed from the tyranny of possessions, the heart learns to trust in Divine Providence and to place its security in the Lord alone.
Living simply and holding goods in common, the community stands in solidarity with the poor it serves — the children, the neglected, and the forgotten — so that its witness to peace may be credible and its love unencumbered.
