In Case You Are Wondering...

What is the spirituality of the Daughters of St. Paul?

     The Daughters of St. Paul live the Pauline spirituality. Father Alberione attributed our foundation to St. Paul the apostle, who was outstanding in his zeal to spread the Gospel to the world of his time. That is why St. Paul is our father, founder and protector.

     While we live the apostolic spirit of St. Paul, each of his Daughters also imitates the heart of their father towards his Master the Christ, whom he gave his life to serve so ardently. Daily, she spends an hour adoring Jesus her Master before the Blessed Sacrament. She looks to Mary as her Mother, Teacher and Queen of Apostles, from whom she receives formation to become an apostle as zealous as her father St. Paul.

     For a Daughter of St. Paul, Jesus is her Master, the Way, the Truth and the Life. He is the Truth of the Father as opposed to the lies of the devil as regards our salvation. He is the Way to the Father our true fulfillment, as opposed to the ways to fulfillment as proposed by the world. He is the Life given to us by our heavenly Father, as opposed to the life through the lifestyles offered to us by the world.

     So, the Daughters of St. Paul, after the footsteps of their father, live and work to spread the message of salvation in the world, yet are not of the world.

What does the abbreviation FSP, behind the names of the Sisters stand for?
