Lines of action, thrusts and commitments for the life and mission of the whole Teresian Association 2023-2028.
These thrusts and commitments are rooted in our incarnational spirituality; they invite us to look, discern and take action in the world with depth as Jesus did; they invite us to evangelise in the heart of the world in which we live and to offer a word of transcendence and meaning.
To create spaces for dialogue, encounter, healing... by committing ourselves in a special way to people who are in situations of exclusion in the physical and existential peripheries: migrants, women, minors, ... and with people of different religious traditions and worldviews.
We reaffirm that education is the essential core of our vocation-mission; it is the inspirational focus of our way of being, and it is our way of perceiving, influencing and transforming reality. It is our way of being in the world and among people, as we answer Poveda’s request that we bring back humanism-truth.
These three lines of action spring from the prophetic intuition of Pedro Poveda. They invite us to define and redefine how we live in the world in terms of the transforming capacity of education. We have a strong sense of evangelisation and know that we are Church on a synodal journey. We are in the company of Mary, Woman of our changing times, who invites us to do what Jesus tells us to do.
