WHERE ARE WE?

The Congregation in the World

The Dominican community
that Marie Poussepin wanted

was to have charity
as its soul

In imitation of Jesus Christ , Marie Poussepin, in a tireless quest for God, touched by the misery, sickness and ignorance that she discovered in Sainville availed herself to serve others. Only one contemplative aim, love of God and love of others moved her to speak to God or of God with a charity full of mercy and compassion.
