As Religious of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we are rooted in prayer. Our mission is to discover and reveal the love of God .

Our spirituality is based  on love and contemplation . Our contemplative outlook is part of who we are, whether in prayer, in ministry, or our daily lives.

In prayer, we come to Him with everything that touches our life, with the sufferings and hopes of humanity.  (Constitutions #20)

Prayer is the foundation of lives, our mission, and relationships; it awakens in us God’s presence and action throughout the world and connects us with our broken world.

We seek to discover and reveal the love of Christ’s Heart to those to whom this service is offered. This is evident in the Constitution and captivated by the love within Christ’s Heart that they want people to grow in dignity, as human beings and as children of God

Jesus calls us to a personal encounter with Him. He wants to make known to us the feelings and the preferences of His Heart of him. (Constitutions #18.)

We root our lives in prayer to be taught by Christ. Through the mission of discovering and revealing the love of God, our spirituality and our mission are based on love.

We are invited to reveal Christ’s love to others in particular through the educational work. Everything else the members are doing is only secondary. Sophie wanted the Sisters of the Sacred Heart to show the glory of his Heart by living in a common life centered on the Eucharist and focusing on common apostolic activities.

Our contemplative outlook is part of who we are, whether in prayer, in ministry or in our daily lives.
