Her Charism:  This Sister’s charism is to cooperate with the redemptive mercy of God (Divine Mercy) by “emptying herself” and imploring God’s mercy through her personal prayer and sacrifice in the work of saving souls and rescuing sinners from eternal loss.  As Christ did while He was on earth, she proclaims the infinite and unconditional mercy of God for every single person.  She does not mind if her efforts shorten her own life, because her life belongs to the Community of Sisters and to Christ Whose mission it was to save what was lost.  This Sister lives the Eucharist.  Her entire being radiates and sings out in ecstasy a song of mercy.  This Sister is to prepare humanity for Christ’s second coming.
