Her Charism:  When the paved road ends, there begins the work of this intrepid Sister who leads a consecrated, teaching, and penitent life for Jesus.  She goes to the remote ends of the earth on foot (*often on horseback in the mountains*) to preach the Gospel message among the forgotten and abandoned poor.  Her fight is against ignorance and sin, the most fatal enemies of humanity.  She does not replace the priest, but “prepares the way for the priest” whom they rarely see.  For this reason, this missionary Sister has been granted diaconate powers to baptize, hold religious services (para-liturgical services), give Communion, attend marriages and perform funeral and burial services.  She loves with a heart full of tender affection, maternity, and fidelity, and seeks to be in every corner of the planet.  Never is she alone; Jesus goes with her.
