Way of Redemptorists
Way of Redemptorists
When Redemptorists hear and see Christ in the poor and abandoned, and they in turn see Christ in us, our hearts sing. That is our prayer; therein is the message we preach.
Strong in faith, rejoicing in hope, burning with charity, on fire with zeal, in humility of heart and persevering in prayer, Redemptorists, as apostolic men and genuine disciples of St Alphonsus follow Christ the Redeemer with hearts full of joy; denying themselves and always ready to undertake what is demanding, they share in the mystery of Christ and proclaim it in Gospel simplicity of life and language, that they may bring to people plentiful redemption.– Constitution of the Redemptorists, No. 20
Redemptorist life springs from the heart of the risen Christ, the Most Holy Redeemer. Christ the Includer is gathering up all of humanity into the fullness of life, a new way of being, and a justice born of God. By grace, Redemptorists are a community caught up fully in this marvellous action. If you are called to it, you cannot help but run with it. Such is the gift!
The whole perfection of the human person and all holiness consists in loving Jesus Christ, and in doing his will. He is our Redeemer and the source of all our good.– St Alfonso de Liguori
