Dear Confreres, Sisters and Mission Partners,

Arnold Janssen once writes “the objective of the Society of the Divine Word is to strive that the Society as a whole and in its individual members ever more faithfully fulfills the will of God. This requires firstly the greater sanctification of its members and secondly that the Society endeavor to become an ever more capable, more useful instrument in the hand of God. …” [To the Priests and Brothers in Argentina and Brazil, St. Wendel, 3 December 1901 (Janssen Reader, 2017, sec 321)]
