mission  
Our call to mission is clear. We are women who are to preach the good news of Jesus in season and out of season. We do this by our lives and our works. As our founder wrote: "We were not founded in God's church simply to nurse, that is an addition. We were founded to extend the kingdom of God by making Mary reign in the hearts and minds of all people".

Our task is to extend God's kingdom through our direct and indirect evangelization. Our spirituality calls us to mission, as does our vocation to live our lives in union with Mary, the Mother of Jesus, who was given the task of being Mother of the church from the Cross. We, like her, embrace our call to bring Christ to birth in the hearts and minds of all, and in particular, those who are sick, suffering, impoverished or betrayed by their own society and culture.

to what are we called?

Our constitutions state: "Just as God chose and formed the people of Israel to reveal and carry out the divine plane, the sisters of the Little Company of Mary are commissioned to be bearers of the Good News, to be a light to the nations that God's salvation may reach the ends of the earth (s. 49:6). #1.01

They also tell us that:

The charism of the congregation draws its members to follow the inspiration of Jesus total self-giving by responding generously and courageously to the challenges presented by our mission. This charism is lived in union with Mary, the pre-eminent disciple of Jesus and model of the Church. We are called to share in Mary's maternal and evangelizing role in the Church. #101.1; 101.2

and that:

The mystery of the Cross calls us to stand in radical vulnerability and weakness in order to proclaim the goodness of God who fills the hungry with good things, and it is our congregational charism that calls us to embrace radical poverty of mind and heart. #2.09 [and that] In all that we do, we are to  seek to bring a message of hope and new life to a world in which violence, poverty, suffering and injustice destroy human dignity and integrity. We express solidarity with those who suffer, by our prayer, our sharing of material resources and our commitment to social justice #2.11
