"In their life and apostolate the sisters... strive to live the spirituality of Nazareth so dear to the heart of St. Francis. It was in Nazareth that Jesus lived his hidden life, where Our Lady received her call, and it was the pace that Jesus was identified with on the cross. In this spirituality of the hidden and humble life of Nazareth, ... (the sisters live) under the guidance of the Queen of Heaven and in constant prayer with their eyes always fixed upon the cross." (Sister's constitutions #3)
