This is how Claire Monestès, our foundress, described the new born Congregation:
La Xavière aspires to be a supple and intense religious life, supple enough to adapt to the emerging needs of the apostolate, intense enough that Mary’s share does not yield to that of Martha and so that the apostolic activity is only a radiance, the expansion of the inner flame.

Welcome all so that all may fully blossom!
We must live the lives of the souls we want to save, understand their language, their needs… we must be accessible, understanding to any initiative, to any movement of grace, and we must know how to wait while stimulating, enlightening, loving them…
The Eucharist is the center and the link to unite all members of Christ at the same table close to the Father … for me the Host is always glorious. It’s the sacrament of joy … May I carry and radiate Christ, may I be « christophore » with all my life!

We must act as the Blessed Virgin towards the souls. She is the one who says to the servants, « Do whatever he tells you » and to our Lord, « They have no wine. » We make the connection between souls who have no or, are no longer in, contact with Christ and the Church. We do everything he tells us: this is our missionary life.
