Thought for the Day

We live much more under secular supervision than of old; it is unavoidable if we want to do our work for children: all the more necessary then to strengthen ourselves in truth, in personal humility, in independence of the world, in the tendency to hiddenness which is characteristic of God's work in the universe.

Quotes: Constitutions of 1982, Society of the Sacred Heart Print E-mail

We participate in the mission of the Church through the service of education which is our way of continuing the work of Christ. This service of education and instruction is directed chiefly towards the young and those who bear within them the future of the world. Caught up as we are in the desires of His Heart, we want people to grow in dignity, as human beings and as children of God. Our starting point is the Gospel with all its demands from us of love, forgiveness and justice, and of solidarity with those who are poor and rejected by the world.

Mary, woman of faith among the People of God, lives close to us, as she does to everything that radiates the life of her Son. Our Society entrusts itself in a special way to her whose heart is united and conformed to that of Jesus, so that she may lead us to Him.

Our service of education is carried out in a genuine relationship of mutual interaction, where each person both receives and gives so that all may grow together. Of its nature, our service of education means creating community among ourselves and with others. It asks of us generous commitment, serious on-going formation and a broad critical vision of the world, enlightened by faith.

Coming to dwell in a world which is searching for meaning and true value of life, the Word incarnate opens to us a new way of life, of strength in weakness, freedom in service, life through death.

That the heart is open means, on the one hand, that there is communication from within that it allows to be seen and known by others, and, on the other, that it is accessible: that one may enter it, hide in it, and find in it shelter and refuge.
Dolores Aleixandre, RSCJ in her book entitled: In the Shadow of the Word
