Her Charism:  Free for God alone, this nun is part of Mary’s Guard of Honor.  Through Our Lady’s eyes and heart she contemplates the Word of God Who made Himself food for eternal life.  She is an angel of prayer who makes the Light shine brighter.  In her school of charity, silence, and contemplation she studies the mysteries of our salvation with an ardent heart and with Mary, the Mother of Jesus.  Her littleness and suffering are offered as a prayer and a sacrifice of sweet fragrance that all men be saved and come to the knowledge of the Truth.  Her prayers do not have to be verbal or articulate. . . . they are simply uniting herself to God in order to be a whisper of hope for the world.  On fire with love, she preaches the Truth (“holiness of the mind”) as if she had a million voices and is transformed into the splendor of her Beloved, Jesus.
