Her Charism:  This “Apostle of our time” is deeply rooted in Jesus, Our Savior, and shares His mission in world-wide evangelization in simplicity and trust.  Taking to her heart the admonition to “Go forth and make disciples of all nations,” she makes known the goodness and kindness of the Savior of the world and fosters an awareness of a loving and merciful God in whatever place and by whatever means the Spirit of God inspires: human trafficking initiatives, law, art, social work, counseling, pastoral care, education, and healthcare.  Moved by the deepest need of the people to find life and to know the one true God and Jesus Christ Whom He sent, her apostolate is to build bridges of mercy and justice with people throughout the world and to glorify God and make Him known – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – through the proclamation of Jesus Christ as Savior of the world.
