| Our spirituality
is a basic Gospel call to love of God and neighbor.
It is characterized by a deep relationship with the
persons of the Blessed Trinity and with Jesus, Mary
and Joseph as a human community of love.
The distinguishing mark of our
Congregation is simplicity, and we try to accept
God’s invitation to grow both individually
and together in humility and charity.

The spirit of the Congregation urges
us to resist complacency, to nourish mutual healing and
to foster reconciliation. It animates us to move always
toward closer union with God and neighbor.
We share a rich spiritual heritage with
other Sisters of Saint Joseph throughout the world, and
work together to find inspiration for our 21st-century
lives in the writings that are part of our heritage. We
ponder the words of our early documents, hoping to become
by God’s grace the Congregation of the great
love of God.
Here we share examples of the
Maxims of the Little Institute and other writings.
Always speak
positively of others and affirm their
good qualities...
from Maxim 11
