The charism is the gift that the Holy Spirit entrusted to Mother María Güell for the good of the Church. It is not an idea or a human project, but a concrete way of living the Gospel—born of an encounter with Christ and sustained by a deep devotion to the Heart of Mary.

God wants us to be simple, humble, and full of charity.

The charism of the Missionaries Daughters of the Heart of Mary is grounded in the Gospel lived after Mary’s example. In her we contemplate the inner attitude that defines our identity: listening, availability, fidelity, and silent love.

To be Daughters of the Heart of Mary is to learn to welcome the Word and to offer it through everyday service, especially where suffering and fragility are most visible.

Charity is the heart of the charism—not a theoretical charity, but one made of simple, close, and constant gestures. From the beginning, the Congregation has been sent to serve the sick, the poor, and those most in need of consolation and care.

Mother María Güell taught us to live this charity with humility, without seeking recognition, seeing in each person the face of Christ.

«Our neighbor is our Lord. If we think this way, we will never be mistaken.»

The charism is expressed and sustained in concrete attitudes that shape our way of life and mission:

Humility

Lived as truth before God and a trusting openness to His will.

Simplicity

In the way we live, serve, and relate—without complications or appearances.

Charity

Understood as generous, constant, and silent self-giving to one’s neighbor.

The charism is not kept—it is lived. Over time, the Missionaries Daughters of the Heart of Mary have embodied this gift in diverse forms of service, adapting to the needs of each place and historical moment, without losing the essence received.

Wherever a sister is serving, accompanying, or caring, the charism continues to bear fruit.

«Charity, simplicity, and humility must be our heritage.»

In a world marked by haste, individualism, and indifference, the charism of Mother María Güell remains deeply relevant. Simplicity, closeness, and charity lived faithfully are today a prophetic sign and a call to humanize our society.

The charism remains an open invitation to live the Gospel with a heart like Mary’s.

The charism entrusted to Mother María Güell belongs not only to the past nor exclusively to the Congregation. It is a living gift for the Church, inviting everyone to live the faith through humility, simplicity, and charity.
