The LOVE organization was founded, in Montreal, by Twinkle (Sheila) Rudberg whose husband Daniel was killed by a fourteen-year-old gang member on the streets of downtown Montreal. Daniel had gone to the aid of an elderly woman who was being assaulted when the teen stabbed him to death. During the youth's trial Twinkle learned that the young perpetrator's life had consisted of being in gangs, taking drugs and spending hours watching violent movies. She began to see him as a victim of violence as well.
The Consolata Missionaries are a catholic community of about 1000 brothers and priests from four different continents. They dedicate their life for the proclamation of the Good News as commanded in the Gospels: 'Go into the world and preach the Gospel to the whole Creation'. The Consolata Missionaries are consecrated: they are dedicated to the mission in a total way, without any additional commitments, besides the mission. They free themselves from any other relationships. They take three vows: poverty, chastity and obedience, under the influence of the evangelical beatitudes. For them this is not a temporary commitment, but for life.
