Her Charism:  This little Daughter of Mary becomes like Christ with mercy to the poor and needy as Mary did in the spirit of family.  This means: Ser Hija Mínima con el Corazón de     Dios . . . To be a little Daughter with the Heart of God today.  She is bridge between countries, histories, cultures, hopes and promises by caring for the sick in hospitals, especially infants and AIDS/HIV victims.  She is also engaged in teaching in classrooms, working with the aged and infirm, running retreat houses, doing domestic work and the Hispanic ministry.  Every little sacrifice is an act of love for God.  The words of her founder are engraved on her heart:                      “Háganse santas.  Háganse santas.”. . . “Become saints.  Become saints.”
