The Sisters Hospitallers of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in the Catholic Church with Sr Maria-Isabel Canton-Lopez: "This congregation was founded in Spain in 1881 by St Benedict Menni, María Josefa and María Angustias. .. Our Father Founder Benedict Menni came to Spain to restore the Order of the Brothers of St John of God in 1867 because the Order was extinguished through the war. And he restored the Order in Spain, Portugal and Mexico. At some point he was told that they were not able to look after the mentally ill women. So somehow in Granada, María Josefa and María Angustias had a call from God and they didn't know for what, and they met Benedict Menni and in 1881 they started our congregation whose special charism is to glorify God the Father through caring for the sick and showing compassion and love. … So we were founded specifically to care for people with mental disabilities. … Our Founder was very strong about our spirituality which is uniting contemplation and activity. And the theme of our spirituality is the Good Samaritan and the beautiful passage of Martha and Mary, which is work and contemplation. We could not really do the work we do if it wasn't through great strong prayer life." Music - Olen Cesari with Fabrizio Bosso.
