Her Charism:  The essence of this Sister’s charism is an attitude of trust towards God, total abandonment to God’s Will, and living the Beatitudes.  Her spirituality is founded on the mystery and contemplation of the Mercy of God daily.  She finds her inspiration is the writings and life of St. Maria Faustina Kowalska, the Apostle of Divine Mercy.  Faithfully she carries out the task of making present to the world the mystery of the Mercy of God by practicing the corporal and spiritual works of mercy, and by praying, fasting, doing penance, and performing charitable works to the weakest and most needy of society.  In this Sister’s union with God, her sacramental life, she walks with Mary, the first daughter of God’s Mercy, and St. Joseph.  Her deepest desire is to bring about a renaissance in Jesus through Divine Mercy: to make Jesus’ Merciful Love and His Kingdom known to all her brothers and sisters and to restore happiness to the sad and hopeless of this world.
