Her Charism: In the spirit of humility and meekness, this Adorer is inspired with great love for the priesthood and a desire to live a life dedicated to priests. She renders ever-present adoration to God for the glory of the Father, prayers for the sanctification of His priests, and the spread of the Kingdom of the Heart of Jesus among men. Her spiritual Father is St. Francis de Sales and her spiritual brothers are St. Benedict and St. Thomas Aquinas. Following in their footsteps, she endeavors to grow in the love of God by the practice of the little virtues. . . “all by love, in love, and for love.” Entrusted to Mary, this Sister follows her Immaculate Heart which is the luminous way leading to the Royal Heart of her Divine Son to Whom she desires to conform her life. † Her holy habit is an instrument and a channel of grace both for the wearer and for those who observe – a sacramental to the world. †
