It is at our work, more than anywhere else that our human dignity is honored our generosity called forth, our selfless love for one another evoked.
Work is both the unfolding and the probing of our prayer.
Through our work we are united with the poor of this world and with its fruits we contribute to their needs. The cowl, laid on the altar at our solemn profession envelops us as a symbol of prayer and hiddeness in the Face of God.
