Poor of Jesus Christ

The Poor of Jesus Christ, impelled by the Holy Spirit to fulfill the words of Jesus, go out to the poor wherever they may be. “For I was hungry and you gave me to eat.  Thirsty and you gave me drink, homeless and you gave me shelter”. (Mt  25,35).

We go to the streets, under bridges, and anywhere we have the opportunity to pray and spend time with the poor. We also shelter in our mission houses, where they are welcomed with the dignity of children of God.

We are called to be what Jesus was, acting and speaking as He did. All is His. “Not to us, Lord, not to us, but to your name all the glory” (Ps 115: 1).

We are attracted by Jesus who, became a poor and humble servant; an unreserved gift and sacrifice for all mankind. We want the Word-made man poor in Bethlehem, anonymous in Nazareth, pilgrim on the roads, abandoned on Golgotha, raised and glorified by the Father; We want Jesus announcing that the Kingdom has arrived and is among us, but also withdrawing in silence to pray and intercede for men; who has life in abundance to give, but also offers the narrow path of the Cross.
