Her Charism:  Like Mary, this Sister is an instrument and a channel for God’s mercy and  sweet consolation in all human misery, be it physical or moral.  A teacher in humanity, she carries her soul in the palm of her hand as she transforms a house of misery into a house of mercy.  For her, it is as if God carved His image in the saddest face, the most pain-filled heart, in the mind that seeks, and in the soul that thirsts.  Consolation continues to feel the scarlet and the burn of God in the intricacies of her being.  Through her works of merciful love, she gives consolation its true meaning . . . she speaks directly to the heart of a person that is Christ Crucified and Risen.  The mystery of divine consolation is condensed: God loves us.
