The heirs of the spiritual guidance of Blessed Mother M. Elisabeth Hesselblad, interpreting the thought and the spirit of their Foundress, have intensified the missionary ecumenical spirit. Under the direction of the Abbess General, Mother Tekla Famiglietti, at the head of the Order since 1979, the sense of religious life has been strongly consolidated and developed through a profound search for perfection in the practice of the Evangelical Counsels, as called for in the religious state. A spirit of trust and cooperation between the various members of the Order and a deep spirit of faith have helped to intensify fraternal charity, contemplation and credence in the growth of the Order.
