The Charism

The charism of the Lay Missionaries of Charity is to live the Gospel with faith, humility, and joy—seeing Jesus in the poor and quenching His thirst for souls. Inspired by Mt 25:31–46 and the cry of Christ from the Cross, “I thirst,” this way of life responds with love to the deepest hunger of the human heart.
