Her Charism:  Consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, this contemplative-active Sister wishes to gently and humbly share with everyone the beauty of the Catholic Faith and the astounding reality that God is truly with us- body, blood, soul, and divinity- in the Holy Eucharist and He longs to be be loved by all His children.  United to the Cross of Jesus, she wishes to be a little co-redeemer of the world.  During Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, she prays for priests and for spreading love for, reverence to, and the universal enthronement of Our Eucharistic Lord on all the altars of the world.  Her sacred mission is to quench the Thirst of Jesus to be loved in the Blessed Sacrament.  She strives to make every moment of her life a ceaseless act of love – small acts with great love – so that someday everyone will come to adore Him.  Her apostolate is to offer retreats, catechesis, and perform spiritual and corporal works of mercy among the poor by bringing the hungry to the Bread of Life through her labors of love in the soup kitchen.
