During the last 30 years, which have seen great change in society and in the church, the community has constantly sensed the guiding presence of the love of God. Today the name of the community is 'The Monastic Family Fraternity of Jesus', with the evangelical motto, "Unus enim magister, omnes vos fratres" (You have only one Master, and you are all brothers) - Matthew 23, 8.

The Monastic Family Fraternity of Jesus is a federation made up of a community of monks "the Congregation of the Brothers of Jesus" and a community of nuns "the Congregation of the Sisters of Jesus". The aspirations, objectives, spiritual outlook and working practice of the two communities have the same origin.

The federation also includes the Association of Believers - single people and families committed to living the spirituality of the Fraternity of Jesus and participating in its activities. In addition there are associates and friends collaborating in a variety of different ways in the spiritual and working life of the monastic family.

The Holy Family of Nazareth provides the model for the community life of the brothers, sisters and lay people. One could say that, other than in Heaven, there is no other place where life has been lived out in a more monastic way. The simple life of the Holy Family expresses how one can put God in the first place. Maybe this can help us to interpret the words of Jesus when he says to his earthly parents: "Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?" (Luke 2, 49).

For the community the Rule above all other rules is the Gospel. Jesus clearly states that the law and the prophets can be summed up in two commandments: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all you soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and first commandment. The second resembles it: You must love your neighbour as yourself". (Matthew 22, 37-39).
