These small faith communities explore the prophetic vision of our Jesuit founder, Jean-Pierre Médaille, who some 360 years ago now described a unique way of living a holy, well-balanced spiritual life in the world. His marvellous spiritual text -The Eucharistic Letter -  in four pages, outlines a fairly comprehensive explanation of the vision and the reality for this new way of being and living. He called this way of life "The Little Design." It was designed for women (and men) who lived 'outside the cloister' and were desirous of growing in holiness  and serving the dear neighbour in one of the spiritual or corporal works of mercy. These are the Great Lovers of God who have learned how to undergo the emptying of their false selfs and "at the same time" began to experience the wonderful inflowing of God's generous and compassionate LOVE coming forth from within themselves. This way of being and living could be described as "mystic-missionary' and there are numerous expressions of this charism manifesting!
