One Single Family
The first objective of the new Congregation of the Sons of Merciful Love is the union with the priests of the diocesan clergy, in going out with them to meet all forms of human poverty, with a merciful heart. They go throughout the world, along with the Handmaids of Merciful Love. In the heart of Mother Esperanza, the two Congregations of the EAM and the FAM form one family, with six branches that want to embrace all the fields where the Lord’s mercy can be manifested. “These two Congregations are one, with the same title, the exercise of limitless charity, and as children of the same Mother.”
(Customs, FAM, II, Chap. 15).
“Always live, my children united like a strong pinecone, always united to sanctify yourselves, to give glory to the Lord and to do all the good you can with those you meet” (Exhort.).
