Her Charism: This Sister is animated by the Spirit of Jesus at work in the world. She believes there is no mission without Adoration and without calling on the Breath of the Holy Spirit to renew the face of the earth. Her life is consecrated to the least favored of society and entrusts herself to Mary, a woman totally surrendered to the Holy Spirit. Her work is accomplished in and through the virtues of simplicity, sincerity, solid enlightened piety, charity, and self-denial. This apostolic Sister is called to live in the Spirit of Pentecost and to share with others in His mission of love in this world. She is sent forth to work for justice and to witness God’s tender love for all through a simple presence, humble gestures and collaborative efforts. Her faithful and charitable heart is always with the sick, poor. and needy, recognizing in them the person of Jesus Christ.
