God,
Father and Mother of infinite love
We praise you!
Help us to assume our commitment
of fidelity to the mission of Christ
in the Church of today
as it leads the way
in defense of the oppressed.
Make us sensitive
to the needs
          of your people.
Mark us with the fidelity
          of Gailhac.
May our presence
be a constant revelation
of love and joy
As was Mary's
          - Woman of faith and hope.
Make us grow,
Lord, in true zeal,
capable of transforming the world.
May our hearts
discover you
          in the Scriptures
          in the breaking of bread
and in the service of others.
Strengthened
and united in love
we want as individuals, and
as an Institute,
to be a testimony to the world
that you are Father
and that we are brothers and sisters
in your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen
