Saint Augustine said that after God was incarnated in the person of Jesus, God can never look at man again without the eyes of compassion. The moving account of the parable of the lost sheep is a testimony of God's compassion of humanity.

In the Gospel we see how Christ was moved with compassion upon seeing the people for they were like sheep without a shepherd.

Bearing this companionate love through a renewed way of serving and uplifting the lives and spirituality of the poor. Most likely these poor people that include the orphans, the abused and abandoned women resort to despair and denial of God's presence in their lives.

It in this difficult situation than the Daughters of Saint Augustine come to the scene by accepting and embracing this people so that may again encounter God and feel his presence in their lives.

The Daughters of Saint Augustine therefore must strive to renew this charism within ourselves and in the community to be able to discern new ways of incarnating this charism in our life and mission which the Holy Spirit, the giver of charism speaks to us in different events in the world today.

Thus in keeping with this spirit we articulate our identity in the third Christian Millennium: "being a new community with this charism of compassion, we seek to live in full communion with the Holy Catholic Church to become active witnesses and agents of renewal in our society. As such, we commit ourselves to live out the evangelical counsels in the spirit of friendship and communion among ourselves so that by living with this spirituality the light of Christ may radiate through our humble ways of Christian living".
