The religious community, before being a human accomplishment is a gift of the Spirit who summons us to live the same charism, under the same rule, and for the same mission. In the Community we live the new commandment of Jesus: “Love one another as I loved you (Jn. 15:12), which is what distinguishes true Christians, is the main commandment for this Institute, as well as that of loving God above all things , with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our strength”. (Constitutions #50)

Joy is a sign of the presence of the Risen Lord in our midst and a testimony of how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity (Ps. 133:1). Being together with our brothers in the name of the Lord makes effective the obedience to the Rogate (cf. Mt. 18:19-20) and is a way of communion. We are aware that the joy of fraternal life in community is an effective vocational announcement because it fascinates and appeals. (Constitutions #54)
