Through Baptism, the Father has chosen us to live in his Son. In calling us among the Daughters of St. Paul he has consecrated us to himself more intimately to send us to proclaim the unfathomable riches of the mystery of Christ.
The Father renews in us the gift of the Spirit bestowed on Blessed James Alberione, our Founder so that we may bring it to life and make it operative in the Church and in the world.
We make our response to the Father in a free and conscious way by he total offering of ourselves. This consecration inserts us fully into the mystery of God's covenant with his people and makes us partakers in a specific way in the life and mission of the Church.
In order to communicate to men and women the Gospel of salvation, we welcome the mandate of the Founder: to live Christ as St. Paul understood, lived and communicated him. For us, Christ is the Master, the Way, the Truth and the Life, the unifying center in whom every human being and the whole of history find complete fulfillment.
Through the action of the Spirit, the Master configures us to his mystery of death and resurrection until we are able to say, "I live now not I but with the life of Christ who lives in me."
Living in the truth and dying to sin, we bring our whole being into conformity to his life to grow in him and become with him way, truth and life for our brothers and sisters.
The life and teaching of St. Paul, the apostle who lived in intimacy with his Lord and spent himself to proclaim him to the peoples, form the fiber of our spirituality. From him we learn to live in Christ with thanksgiving and always to strain toward the goal. We learn to feel with the Church and to have a Christian vision of the world, growing in that universal outlook which makes us open to all nations.
Our Pauline vocation grows and matures in the presence of Mary, Mother, Teacher and Queen of the Apostles. From Mary we learn to unite ourselves in the life and mission of her Son in total availability to the designs of the Father.
