"In complete availability,
we are ready to leave our own country,
to set out or set out again
towards other peoples and other cultures,
knowing that the Spirit precedes us...
We open ourselves to their way of life,
ready to receive as well as to give,
having no other aim than to seek humbly, with all,
the coming of the Kingdom in its fullness." (SMSM Constitutions #16,17)
