OUR PRAYER LIFE

The Sisters are to be constantly animated by the Gospel spirit, nourished by prayer and distinguished by generous mortification, perseverance in the practice of virtue and oneness with Christ in His Paschal Mystery. (cf. Evangelica Testificato, 41). Daily as a community, we participate in the holy sacrifice of the Mass, Eucharistic holy hour, the Liturgy of the Hours, the rosary, and meditation on the Word of God. We also have monthly days of recollection and an annual retreat. One of our unique spiritual practices is the Paschal Mystery Retreat where every Thursday through Sunday throughout the year, a sister is assigned to spiritually accompany Jesus in his passion, death and resurrection. It is a reminder that we are called to live in oneness with Christ and to offer ourselves in union with his sacrifice.

OUR COMMUNITY LIFE

We are called to live fraternal life in community through graced friendships, striving for the perfection of charity.  Our fraternal life has as its source and end the communion of the Trinity.  It is nourished by our obedience in relationships with each other.  Inspired by the spirt of Our Lady in the Holy Family, we seek to anticipate each other’s needs.  We strive to foster mutual dialogue and feel privileged to serve each other with heartfelt love.  Living together as Sisters, we seek to be united in heart and soul, give pride of place in esteem to each other and bear each other’s burdens.

OUR APOSTOLIC LIFE

SOLT was founded to be a missionary society.  The Sisters are called to go out to the world and make disciples, to bring people into union with the Most Holy Trinity and with each other in the Church. Accordingly, the Sisters strive to be “afire with that same love with which Christ burned toward men” giving honor and glory to God “who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” (cf. Ad Gentes 42 and 1Tim 2:4)

Apostolic and charitable activity is of the very nature of SOLT and therefore the entire life and activity of its members are imbued with an apostolic spirit.  Service in areas of deepest apostolic need defines the fundamental character of the SOLT missionary vocation, therefore, we serve in a variety of apostolates with the vision of brining all peoples into communion with the Most Holy Trinity through discipleship of Jesus through Mary and the building up of the Church.
