The Charism of the Missionaries of the Word is:
To live in Jesus, the Father's one Word, and to empty ourselves, out of love, that we may become dwelling places of the Word, and so cultivate God's life in souls.

"A Carmelite is a soul who has gazed on the Crucified One; who has seen Him offering Himself as a Victim to His Father for souls and, recollecting herself in this great vision of the charity of Christ, has understood the passionate love of His soul, and has wanted to give herself as He did!"
