Her Charism: Turning her gaze to St. John Eudes, her spiritual father who understood that the Two Hearts are one single heart (The Sacred Heart of Jesus is the Heart of Mary), this Sister asks for the grace to empty herself so that she may be a vessel of Christ’s love and mercy through prayer and contemplation, Eucharistic Adoration, and works of mercy and compassion. She prays that with every beat of her heart and with every breath she takes, Christ will cause her to see others with His eyes, to touch others with His love, to hear others with His ears so that all the people she encounters will be filled with Christ’s love as He desires. Called to serve the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, this Sister goes out into the world to serve the starving hearts of these times and envelop them and the whole world in the balm of the Two Hearts through caring for the sick and suffering.
