"For it is the love of Christ which is moving us" 2 Cor 5,14
These words of St.Paul were cherished by our founder Marie-Joseph Coudrin, and were also
an inspiration for the brothers and sisters belonging to his order.
"Our mission urges us to evangelizing action by which we enter into the interior dynamism of Christ’s love for his Father and for the world,
especially for the poor, the afflicted, the marginalized and those who have not heard the Good News." (Rule, article 6).
Our intention is therefore clear, and as our Rule points out: We are committed to turning
people's hearts towards the spirit of the Gospel.

Foundation and history (1800-1837)
Our order was founded in Poitiers (France) in 1800 by Marie-Joseoh Coudrin and Henriette Aymer de la Chevalerie.
Right from the beginning, there was an order for both women, men and a secular branch, that lay people joined so they could give support to the members of the order, and also live in the spirit of the congregation.

Contemplation
Our lives and call are nurtured by private and common prayer.
The Adoration of the Eucharist is the ultimate expression of our spirituality. It is the period when we meditate together with our resurrected Lord and Master,
the beloved son of the Father, who came to serve and save us.
During the Adoration we join our prayers with Christs, interceding for mankind and especially those who have committed sin.
At the same time the act of Adoration enables us to see the world through God's eyes, and inspired by the spirit of the Gospel to
devote themselves to cooperate with God's plan of salvation for the world.

Legpicpus (third branch)
The Picpus order was founded as an order for both women and for men. However, from the
beginning there has always existed lay people, who would take part in the community's spirituality, life of prayer and mission.
The members are married and single, but they commit themselves to follow the
congregation's ideals: Adoration, meditation, community, and call.
In Norway we have four members, and their leader is Berit Lea
