Her Charism:  Enamored of Jesus in His Eucharistic Mystery, this Sister dedicates her life to loving Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and offers her life as a gift to Him for the many offenses He receives in this sacrament.  Under the maternal protection of Our Lady of Mercy, Mother of the Redeemer, she becomes one with the Eucharistic Presence of Jesus within an active life.  Accompanied by Mary on her journey to educate children and youth especially, she spreads the love of Jesus to all her brothers and sisters in order to establish the Kingdom of God on earth.  Like St. John the Evangelist, she places herself on Jesus’ chest to experience the beat and longings of His Heart and makes them her own.  At the end of each day, she carries with her the unredeemed world and presents it to her Beloved Jesus.  In her prayer in light of the Eucharist, she asks Him to hasten the day when He will be loved by all.
