EAM Sisters<\/h1>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

They were the first founded in Madrid, on Christmas Eve 1930. Since the beginning, the Handmaids lived intensely, with Mother Esperanza, the mission of \u201clearning and working to make the Merciful Love known\u201d more through acts than words.<\/p>\n

The identity of this \u201cbranch\u201d is constituted by\u00a0EAM Sisters who witness their public consecration to God with their entire life<\/b>, living the requirements of the evangelic counsels, fraternal life in community and the mission, wearing a visible sign (habit or other distinguishing feature). The\u00a0environment<\/i>\u00a0in which their mission has developed in the course of history, has consisted in\u00a0going out to meet all neediest<\/b>; all of this, with a true spirit of sacrifice and self-abnegation.<\/p>\n

Guided by Mother Esperanza, they have opened\u00a0houses to receive<\/u>\u00a0every kind of needy person;\u00a0grade schools<\/u>characterized by a family style, houses for immigrants and pilgrims; homes for deficient persons,\u00a0schools and workshops for the professional training<\/u>\u00a0of young people;\u00a0residences for the elderly<\/u>; they have\u00a0cared for the sick in their homes<\/u>\u00a0and collaborated in\u00a0hospitals<\/u>,\u00a0restaurants for the poor<\/u>; in seminaries and houses of the clergy \u2026 They have done all of this because Mother Esperanza was convinced that \u201cthe poor are dearest interests of Jesus and that He created these Handmaids to be their guardians, mothers and servants, and so we have to try hard to treat them as Jesus wants us to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the EAM Sisters, sensitive to all forms of poverty,\u00a0make themselves the sisters and mothers of the needy, the visible sign of the maternal tenderness of the \u201cGood Jesus,\u201d<\/b>\u00a0so that every person may discover and live his\/her dignity as a child of God. Jesus came to announce God\u2019s Reign to the poor.<\/p>\n
