Her Charism:  † This cloistered Order was founded in response to the Protestant denial of the Real Presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. †  A Sacramentine nun lives a hidden life like Jesus – she in her monastery, and Jesus in the Eucharist.  But she connects with the outside world through her particular grace.  From the moment she rises for morning prayer through evening vespers, she goes before the Blessed Sacrament in silence and sees the Face of her Beloved Jesus.  Her sacred mission is to praise, love, and adore Christ hidden in the Eucharist for those who cannot, do not, and will not.  Her entire cloistered life is centered on Eucharistic worship, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, praying the Liturgy of the Hours (Divine Office), private prayer, and meditation.  She desires only to be united to our Eucharistic Lord.
