WORKS OF MERCY ARE A MAJOR APOSTOLATE CARRIED OUT BY THE IVE.

Our Institute, which seeks to become an extension of the Incarnation of the Word, to embody Him “to embody Him “in all that is authentically human,”To continue to reveal to mankind the merciful love of God and to continue the event of the Incarnation by means of all kinds of works of charity in order to relieve many of the miseries of modern man.
In fact, by the witness of charity many will come to know God: [1] humbly wishes through works of mercy:

1. To continue to reveal to mankind the merciful love of God and to continue the event of the Incarnation by means of all kinds of works of charity in order to relieve many of the miseries of modern man. In fact, by the witness of charity many will come to know God: that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven (Mt 5:16).
2. To Love God showing a concrete love for our brothers and sisters, as it is the only possible means to love God, as Jesus taught us. The Apostle said: He who says that he loves God and does not love his brother, is a liar (1 Jn 4:20). Therefore, we want to follow in the footsteps of the Incarnate Word, who came to redeem us from sin. He pitied even the wounds that this caused in us, and healed men of their physical and spiritual misery, which was a convincing proof of his mercy and his love for the Father.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta: “We are not here for work, we are here first of all for Jesus since we are religious, not assistants … [or] social workers, teachers, nurses, doctors. We serve Jesus in the poor and everything we do is for Him. Our life has no other meaning. This is something that many do not understand. We serve Jesus twenty four hours a day and He gives us the strength. We love the poor and the poor with him, but the Lord always comes first”[2].
