Family Spirit

6. In calling ourselves BROTHERS, we proclaim that we belong to a family united in Christ's love¹.

The home at Nazareth is the model for our family spirit, which consists of love and forgiveness, support and help, forgetfulness of self, openness to others, and joy². It draws its strength and warmth from the Lord's love for the Brothers whom He himself has given us. It pervades our attitudes and behaviour to such an extent that it makes itself felt wherever we are.

This spirit finds expression and gains strength in a special way in love of work, which has always been one of our characteristic features³.
