The spirituality of Mother Soledad and of every Servant of Mary was forged in the fire of a two-fold identification: The Servant of Mary like Mother Soledad recognizes Christ hidden in her neighbor, and in a special way in the sick they care for in their own home (Const. 3); they can identify with Mary, the Mother in perpetual contemplation of her Son under the two very significant invocations and in harmony with the charism-mission Mother Soledad received from the Holy Spirit which the Church entrusted to her to carry out in its name. Her two significant titles are Mary, our Sorrowful Mother at the foot of the Cross of her Son, and Health of the Sick, a title obtained through the suffering and triumph of her Son. She teaches us that all human suffering, united to the mystery of the redemption fully obtained by Christ through his suffering, changes human weakness into the power of God.

Like Mary at the foot of the cross in a contemplative attitude of faith, we as Servants of Mary must convert the patient’s room into a sanctuary where Christ is mystically immolated and where we exercise our common priesthood by offering with Him the sufferings of our patient to the Father.
