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
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
