The welcoming of guests and of the poor is one of the principal recommendations of Saint Norbert. We seek therefore to open as widely as possible both our hearts and our hands to the needs of men, above all of the oppressed, those who in some way suffer or who are victims of discrimination. Our houses are also open to those who are seeking a spiritual renewal or an ecumenical dialogue.
Intimately united with the entire human family and participating in its evolution, we seek, according to our means, to collaborate with all men in building an more human world. Our communities wish to promote the symbiosis of faith and of culture. Christ himself revealed to us that the fundamental law of human perfection and, therefore, of the Christian transformation of the world, is the new commandment of Charity. For God wishes, through Christ, to encompass the entire world, to make of it a new creation by beginning by giving this earth its plenitude on the final day.
