Her Charism:  This Sister is called into the Church to praise God in the mystery of His Mercy.  In the spirit of the prayer: “Jesus, I trust in You” she abandons her own will and surrenders all to Jesus, trusting in Him and accepting His Will alone.  This “Bride at the Heart of Jesus” has a sacred mission to worship God in boundless trust, to proclaim it by constant prayer, and to obtain Divine Mercy for herself and for the whole world.  Her spousal relationship with Jesus is at the heart of her religious life.
