Institute of the Incarnate Word

OUR CHARISM

We want to be founded in Jesus Christ who has come  in the flesh (1 Jn 4:2), and only in Christ, and always in Christ. We want Christ to be in everything and in all, and all of Christ, because the Rock is Christ,9 and no other foundation can any one lay (1 Cor 3:11). We want to love and serve Jesus Christ – his Body and his Spirit.

(Constitutions n.7)
