"Recognizing our oneness with all life, we choose to create compassion and peace by our thoughts, words, prayers, and actions."

Christian spirituality is a way of walking with Christ, a response to God’s deep, unconditional love. As Sisters of Notre Dame, we respond to this love by answering God’s call—dedicating our lives to God, consecrating our whole being through our vows. We journey with Christ, participating in his mission. We pray that our footsteps may create pathways of peace, love, and compassion, so that all those whose lives we touch may come to know God more fully.

Even when we walk in the shadow of the cross of Jesus, our trust in God remains firm. In courage and peace, in love and humility, we echo Mary’s yes to God, who has done great things for us.
