s Sisters of Charity of Our Lady Mother of the Church we embrace our two-fold mission of Sanctity and Service. In a spirit of simplicity we aspire to live a life rooted in the Gospel, in imitation of Mary and expressed by prayer, charity, mortification and submission. We devote ourselves to the works of charity, and as true daughters in the heart of the Church, we serve others through the apostolates of education, caring for the sick, the aging and the poor, wherever there is a need.

Lord, source of eternal life and truth, give to your shepherd, Benedict, a spirit of courage and right judgment, a spirit of knowledge and love. By governing with fidelity those entrusted to his care, may he, as successor to the Apostle Peter and Vicar of Christ, build your Church into a sacrament of unity, love and peace for all the world. Amen.
Prayer for Pope Benedict XVI:
Greetings and prayers for God's blessings of love, joy and peace from the Sisters of Charity of Our Lady Mother of the Church. Our prayer for you who view this Website is that your mind and spirit be open so as to hear the gentle invitation of the Lord and to follow in His footsteps by proclaiming the Gospel message in word and deed. The call to serve God as a Religious is truly a sublime gift. In the Gospel of St. John the Lord reminds us: "You have not chosen Me; I have chosen you." We pray that you will listen attentively to what God is asking of you. He may be calling you to be His Bride, an invitation that has been yours from all eternity. Respond, then, with a generous heart, so that your life may bear fruit to the profit of the whole Mystical Body.
God bless you.
