Service to the Poor

They are far from progress.
They are forgotten by many.
They are there.

They live a simple life.
They cultivate strong values.
They teach us love.

They ask for nothing.
Their voice is very quiet.
We need to be reverent.

In the midst of those people
Our Sisters are
To be a compassionate presence,
Build community
And promote life in all its ways!

Our service to the poor
Is a way to see God in the world
And make Him visible to all.
