Stimulated by the Holy Spirit of Love and receptive to His inspirations

      The Sister of Saint Joseph moves always towards

                 profound love of God

                 and

                 love of neighbor without distinction

                             from whom she does not separate herself

                             and

                             for whom, in the following of Christ

                             she works in order to achieve unity

                             of neighbor with neighbor

                             and neighbor with God

                                         directly in this apostolate

                                         and

                                         indirectly through works of charity

                 in humility - the spirit of the Incarnate Word

                             (Philippians 2:5-8)

                 in sincere charity (cordiale charite) - the manner of  

                             Saint Joseph whose name she bears

                 in an Ignatian-Salesian climate: that is, with an

                             orientation towards excellence

                                         (Le de'passement, Ie plus)

                             tempered by gentleness (douceur), peace, joy
