Her Charism:  This Sister’s charism begins in the school of Mary’s Immaculate Heart because Mary is the living shrine of God’s Word, His Memory, and His Presence.  With a burning passion and fervor, she consecrates her life to Mary, and wants to be “another Mary” here on earth.  She desires to spread St. Louis de Montfort’s practice of Total Consecration to the Blessed Virgin, or The Divine Slavery of Love, so as to hurry the triumph of her Immaculate Heart and Eucharistic reign of her Son, Jesus Christ.  This personal consecration is lived in Adoration of the Eucharist, in reparation for sin, and in the care for the sick poor on the streets.  Everything she does is for Mary, and in her tender motherly spirit so that she may belong to God more perfectly and save souls wounded bodily and spiritually.
