The
fundamental ministry of all members of the Little Company of Mary is
prayer for the dying of the world. This remains the first “work” of
each member of the Little Company. But the Gospel calls us to be for our
brothers and sisters in whatever way we can. Our ministries are many,
and include work within the areas of : Health care, Hospice Care, Home care of the dying - Prison Ministry - Spiritual direction - Catechetics - Social Work. - Pastoral Care - Parish ministries - Aboriginal Health Care - Mission work - Administration - Nursing In all that we do, we seek find
means of promoting equality and justice for all. But the practice of
justice demands continual conversion. As a prerequisite for the
exercise of social justice, our congregational documents call us to
develop those interior attitudes of heart and mind that enable us to
work for the breaking down of barriers between men and women of all
races, class and religions. In this, Jesus is our model - and his way of
service our aim. Our participation in the
mission of the Church also demands of us that we care for this earth and
our constitutions call us to reject those attitudes which promote
despoliation, of the world, and encourage us to search continually for
ways in which our lives may reflect more fully our concern to
protect and promote environmentally sound practices.
