Clelia identified the spirit of the Apostles of the Sacred
Heart when she said, "The Apostle must have no other aim but
the glory of the Heart of Jesus." Therefore the Apostles come
together to live in and for the love of Jesus Christ. Devotion to the Heart of Jesus is the source of each
sister's spirituality, the wealth of her inner life,
and the bond of her communal life.

The Apostles live a strong community life, forming one
family whose members seek to live out, in daily practice, the
command of the Gospel: "Love one another!"
John 13:34.

|
The bond of community is an intense communal and private
prayer life out of which grows a common goal and vision--a
life of service. By spending several hours a day in prayer,
the Apostle nourishes her relationship
with Christ and so receives strength, peace and direction in
her active work with others.

"The true Apostle
knows how to make herself loved. She is always even tempered,
sociable and constant. she is ready to be of service, to
forget wrongs, she is dear to all and loved by her community."
M. Clelia Merloni |
