We contemplate the Heart of Jesus in the joys, hopes, and sufferings of humanity.  Looking at the world from the perspective of the reign of God leads us to recognize how Jesus reveals himself in the poor and marginalized.  The experience of an incarnated spirituality impels us to live education as a process of transformation. In response to new needs of the world and with a new understanding of apostolic religious life, our service of education has opened out into diverse fields of ministry, which embrace persons of all ages in contrasting social situations.  We feel particularly challenged by the plight of children, young people and women, especially those who are excluded.  We are convinced that education is a lifelong process.General Chapter 2000
