The Ursuline Credo

I believe that I am personally called by Yahweh. I believe that this call is an eternal gift—to love celibately, in simplicity, in community as an Ursuline. I believe that as an Ursuline I share in the charism of Angela—a contemplative love of God and a resulting openness and eagerness to serve the needs of others. I believe that this contemplative love comes to be as I strive to be a woman of prayer with prophetic vision—sure of God.

I believe that the needs of others call me to witness Gospel values—serving and teaching as Jesus did. In all this I believe the Spirit works in me enabling me to see wonders as I direct everything to the glory of God and the good of others with faith, joy, confidence, and gratitude.
