| As community we are sent in the power of the Spirit to continue
Christ's mission, to proclaim him, to be transformed and to transform
the world, bringing all to that oneness for which Jesus Christ was sent.
(You are Sent, Constitution 48) As members of an international
congregation, we recognize our obligation and opportunities to develop a
world vision and a sense of global responsibility. Our internationality
challenges us to witness to unity in a divided world; to discover
unsuspected ways of sharing what we have, especially with the poor and
marginalized; and to search for new channels of service in the universal
church. (YAS, C 26) SSNDs presently minister in 36 countries. |
