Her Charism:  The gift given to Father Chevalier and his followers to pass on to us is to see that in Jesus, God loves us with a human heart.  Jesus is the answer to their hopes, their questionings, and their every need.  This is the prism through which this Sister sees the world.  She finds in the Heart of Jesus the infinite tenderness of God.  The love of His Heart is her light, her strength, her guide, and her support – and it is unconditional.  Mary is the one who gave Jesus His humanity.  It is in the very humanity of Jesus that this Sister sees the compassion of God fully realized and she wills to be the Hands, the Feet, and especially the Heart of Jesus for the poor, the sick, and the unloved in our world.  This Sister teaches us that the relationship of love between Jesus and Mary is the same relationship of love we are invited to participate in and have with each other.
