Her Charism:  This earthy and innovative Sister is a humble pilgrim dedicated to the ideals of St. Francis of Assisi and the compassion of Our Lady of Guadalupe.  She lives as another Christ among the people of our time, proclaiming the Gospel with her life in a way that Mankind desperately needs.  Her patroness, Our Lady of Guadalupe, inspires her to work consciously and willingly for the poor and underprivileged in any and every capacity and as freely as her gifts will allow.  Wherever she goes, this Sister is a minstrel for the Lord whose work it is to lift up people’s hearts through healthcare, hospitality, and humor and move them to spiritual gladness.   (What do they call a nun who took the bar exam?  A sister-in-law.)
