Detail of the Pierced Heart of Jesus (Mother House Chapel) with text adapted from #8 of the RSCJ Constitutions

 

"The love with which we are loved transforms us such that we become this Love. Sophie wanted us to draw from Christ’s heart, not only water that would nourish our own life, but also the attitudes and virtues of his heart, that they might become our own, that we might live them for others, that our living might be more conformed to his. She speaks of drawing from his heart such dispositions as charity, humility, gentleness, simplicity, obedience, true love for [others], strength, courage, forgetfulness of self for the sake of others."
