and secular (cf. <i>Canon Law<\/i>, 573-606), has a universal and common end by which we wish to follow Christ more closely under the action of the Holy Spirit.&nbsp; We dedicate ourselves totally to God as our supreme love, so that, contributing to the edification of the Church and the salvation of the souls, we may attain the perfection of charity, and by the charity to which the profession of the evangelical counsels of chastity, poverty and obedience leads, unite ourselves in a special way to the Church and to Her mystery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;\">We, as every religious institute, also have a proper end, which is none other than the total consecration of our person, manifesting the admirable espousal established by God in the Church, a sign of eternal life in Heaven. In this way we will consummate the full gift of ourselves as a sacrifice offered to God, by which our whole existence becomes a continuous worship of God in charity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;\">This is manifested in the fact that we are a family, make public vows, and live a fraternal life in common; and the public witness that we must give entails a detachment from the world. To live according to the Holy Spirit, we must necessarily separate ourselves from the spirit of the world: <i>The Spirit of truth&#8230; which the world cannot accept, because it neither sees nor knows it<\/i> (Jn. 14:17).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;\">Finally, we have a specific and singular end, which is to dedicate ourselves to the evangelization of culture.
