On this special occasion of the Jubilee of the Missions, the Sisters Hospitallers renew their commitment to a mission that knows no boundaries — a mission rooted in compassion, service, and the healing power of hospitality. This celebration invites us to reflect on the daily work that gives life to our charism and continues the legacy of our founders around the world.
The Jubilee of the Missions is more than a celebration; it is a time to give thanks for the countless hearts and hands that make our mission possible. Across continents and cultures, the Sisters Hospitallers live out their vocation by welcoming, caring for, and accompanying those most in need — the sick, the elderly, the abandoned, and those who suffer from mental illness or exclusion.
Through this Jubilee, we remember that our call to hospitality transcends physical borders and personal limits. It is a universal language of love and mercy, capable of reaching every person, regardless of origin, faith, or circumstance.
Each day, in hospitals, care homes, and mission centres, our Sisters and collaborators embody the spirit of St. Benedict Menni, St. María Josefa Recio, and St. María Angustias Giménez. Their example continues to inspire our service — a service that is not merely professional, but profoundly human and spiritual.
In our daily work, hospitality is not an idea, but an action. It is expressed through a smile offered to the lonely, a hand extended to the suffering, and a presence that heals through love. Whether in Africa, Asia, Europe, or the Americas, the Sisters Hospitallers strive to bring hope where it seems lost, and dignity where it has been forgotten.
Today’s world is marked by divisions, displacement, and indifference. Yet, the Jubilee reminds us that the Hospitaller mission is more necessary than ever. To live “Hospitality Without Borders” is to open our hearts to encounter others as brothers and sisters — to serve not only those who come to us, but also to go out to meet those who are unseen and unheard.
This Jubilee is an invitation to all — Sisters, co-workers, volunteers, and friends — to continue building communities of compassion, where hospitality becomes a bridge of peace and healing across the world.
As we celebrate this Jubilee, we look with hope to the future. The mission of the Sisters Hospitallers is alive and dynamic, continually renewed by the love of Christ and the needs of the world. Together, we reaffirm our commitment to serve with humility, tenderness, and faith — carrying forward the vision of Hospitality Without Borders, today and always.
