Her Charism: Both Marian and missionary in character, this “Good News Woman” walks hand-in-hand with Mary, serving the poor, underprivileged, and destitute nations of the world. Her life is a perpetual hymn of thanksgiving on behalf of those who forget to thank God. She draws inspiration from and sings Mary’s universal hymn, The Magnificat, opening windows to help others recognize the wonders that God has done – most especially by sending His Son, Jesus – the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
