Her Charism: This consecrated woman in the Pauline Family (Famiglia Paolina) is an angel and a living lamp before the Eucharistic Jesus. Sent as an apostle of hope, she proclaims that God is Beauty, Goodness, and Joy, and celebrates, and serves Him with a pure heart. Through a life of constant prayer and contemplation, her life opens in a continuous crescendo as she lives out the Paschal Mystery of Christ – from His Incarnation to His glorification in Heaven – which is found in the Eucharist, in the priesthood, and in the liturgy. This Sister portrays Mary’s virtues in her mission as Mother and Teacher of Jesus and who was the first to listen to Him and practice the Beatitudes. The Divine Master grasps her life at the core, engages her mind, will, heart, and energies. Among her varied ministries, she feels a particular spiritual maternity toward priests and prays for their sanctification. Imbued with the “Silence of God” this Missionary of Jesus Master lives each day of her life under the gaze of Mary Queen of Apostles and the example of St. Paul (the great apostle of universality) in the spirit of praise and contemplative living. Called by God’s love to a continual journey of discipleship, this “Apostle of the Eucharist” works and prays that humanity may receive, hear, and love Jesus Master and Savior.
