Sister Idilia shares a reflection of hope, gratitude, and hospitality from the heart of the hospitaller charism.
On the occasion of Christmas, Sister Idilia, Superior of the General Government, addresses a message to the entire hospitaller family around the world, inviting us to contemplate the mystery of a God who becomes close, fragile, and vulnerable, and who dwells in the concrete history of people.
Christmas—she reminds us—illuminates the deep meaning of hospitality lived as both charism and mission: recognizing in Jesus the same face we discover each day in the brothers and sisters we care for. Mary and Joseph speak to us of home, encounter, attention, and care—values that sustain our hospitaller identity.
From this spirit, the message encourages us to continue illuminating the world’s pain with love, proclaiming the good news of hospitality as both gift and commitment in the service of those who suffer most. A message of peace, gratitude, and hope to close the year and begin 2026, sustained by the audacity of our founders.
