Our Charism and Spirituality

Charism

On July, 2, 2023, The Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament (IWBS) in Corpus Christi joined with six other Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament congregations in public celebration of the approval give by the Holy See for the reunification under the title of the Order of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament (OVISS).

The Charism of the Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament (OVISS) in the Church is to contemplate, live, proclaim, and extend the Incarnation of the Word (Proposed Constitution of the Order of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament).

Applying OVISS' Charism to IWA involves integrating the unique spiritual gifts and mission of the Order into IWA's growth spiritual environment and world educations.

Spirituality

Guided by the Incarnate Word himself, Venerable Jeanne Chezard de Matel declared that the Order of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament is to be "an extension of the Incarnation." In living this spiritual heritage, we claim two essential characteristics.

Incarnational
Eucharistic

Incarnational

We center our lives in the Son of God who became one of us. Jesus is God's message of unconditional love expressed in and through our human nature. From Him we learn how best to live as human beings: with humility in recognizing the limitations of our human nature; with trust in accepting the sufferings and limitations or being human; with patience and mercy received as gifts from our God and then offered to others; with grateful joy in welcoming and sharing the unconditional love of our God who created us all

Eucharistic

We welcome, adore and share the presence and saving action of Jesus in our lives. In the Blessed Sacrament we recognize and cherish the continuing presence of Him who gave His all for us and to us. In celebrating the Mass, we join in our self-offering to Him in grateful worship of the Father; in turn, we are strengthened to continue His loving service in our interaction with others.
