Her Charism:  Her compassionate presence serves to bring physical and emotional healing to those suffering from physical, psychological, and spiritual illnesses or fragmented relationships.  Based on the teachings of St. Louis de Montfort, this Sister follows the spirit and model of Calvary and stays with Mary as her faithful follower at the Foot of the Cross throughout Jesus’ suffering and death.  Like a prophetic light that shines through the darkness, her charism empowers her to have a life of intense perpetual intercessory prayer, mercy, and devotion to the dying.  With her maternal heart, she despairs of no one and cares for the sick to help save souls in their last hour.  This Sister is a true mother.  She offers her life to give birth to children in the spirit of the Mother-like Shepherd Who tells her “I lay down My life for My sheep.”
