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 - Overdale House of Prayer 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.
