Her Charism:  This humble nun experiences the joy of being alone with Jesus and radiating the love that only comes from Him.  By living a “hidden life” of humility, solitude, and silence under the protection of the Blessed Virgin, this Sister honors, glorifies, and adores Jesus in the Eucharist.  As a spiritual helper and channel of grace, her perpetual adoration before the Blessed Sacrament attracts and unleashes Divine Mercy for the Church and on the world.  In this way, like Mary and with Mary her zeal to evangelize and spread the knowledge of God’s Kingdom and His love will be known to all.
