Her Charism:  This Sister vows to imitate Blessed Mary Angela’s boundless love of God  and surrendering to God’s Will in compassionate service, total availability, and with the concern for the salvation of all people.  She does this while instilling true piety in all classes of society by acting as an instrument of God’s grace and helping friend and foe alike.  With the beauty of her poverty hidden and living the Pachal Mystery, this Sister educates youth, works in orphanages, hospitals, and homes for the aged.  She does whatever love demands, to lead all to Christ just as Mary bore Him into the world, and she does it quickly, joyfully, compassionately, mercifully, and without regret.  Her love is Christ’s love on earth.
