In every mission of the Missionaries of Charity throughout the world there is an image of Jesus on the Cross above which are the words, "I am thirsty." Jesus spoke these words as his death neared. Their purpose is to remind all the members of the Missionaries of Charity that as their handbook says, the mission exists to satisfy the unquenchable thirst for spiritual love that Jesus felt on the Cross.
在世界各地的仁愛傳教修女會教堂裡，耶穌受苦像的上方總會有「我口渴」的字樣，這是基督臨終之言，它提醒所有仁愛傳教修女會：「我們的目標是使耶穌基督在十字架上對靈魂之愛的無盡渴求得到滿足。
