ß5 The candidates should be given proper knowledge,
guidance and spiritual help so that they may steadily grow
into the depths of a prayer life, founded on the Word of God,
contemplative, and centred on the Eucharist.
ß6 Care should be taken that they develop a heart endowed

with compassion and mercy towards the sorrowful, afflicted
and supportless and acquire an ability to find fulfillment
proper to a SJC Sister, in living a life of serving them with a
spirit of sacrifice and Jesus-consciousness.

ß7 Meekness of heart and humility, as they are the two
virtues which Jesus has asked us to learn of him particularly,
should pre-eminently shine forth in religious who are
specially called to imitate and follow him.

ß8 The blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph are the two
excellent models who are to deeply influence our religious
formation and life. Both of them are sublime examples for
all that are fundamental in religious life such as prayer,
submission to Godís will, family spirit, service-mindedness,
holiness of life, love of poverty, taste for hard work, inner
fulfillment, life of reparation etc.
Formators
96 ß1 Jesus has through the inspiration of his Spirit called each
candidate so that she may, in and through the SJC community,
make a gift of herself to God through consecration, to the
community through sisterly love, and to the poor of God
through the service of compassionate love. Realizing the plan
and providence of the Lord regarding each candidate the
formators are to help her in her call and duty to make herself
an offering of love to God, to the community and to the poor.
